Yes, this works; for [ori] ("Oriya") see: http://www.sil.org/iso639-3/documentation.asp?id=ori you just have to scroll down the page for a link to the change request!
(I also found these change requests by going to the 2011 code changes and clicking on the link for "more":
 http://www.sil.org/iso639-3/chg_requests.asp?order=CR_Number&chg_status=2011 -- but note here that some of these change requests were rejected
and so there will be no code change processed in such cases; as for the order here, I assume it is in the order the change requests were made.)

Thanks. I would not do anything; it would be subject to the reviewer to add the extlang for these if it were decided that doing so was appropriate.

Thanks for the info.
