This is wrong! Better to say (note the ";" used as the list separator):
environment = <; EXTENSION=${substr_1:$local_part_suffix} ; \
RECIPIENT=$local_part$local_part_suffix@$domain
You're also missing the "$" in $local_part_suffix

I don't use procmail, but with maildrop you have to import variables
explicitly.
Besides, your transport was badly configured. environment option expects
a list. All colons should be doubled unless you use something else to
separate list items. See my example above.
