Multiple File Specifications

Is it possible to specify multiple file specifications
with a single COPY or XCOPY command? Here's the
situation:

I have a folder whose contents vary. I want to copy only
files with certain extensions (say *.001, *.002, *.003,
and *.004).

I realize I could write 4 separate XCOPY statements or a
single FOR %%A (*.001 *.002 *.003 *.004) DO XCOPY %%
A . . .

but I wonder if there is a more efficient way to do this
(with a single command)?
