Wire extensions with wirenuts in breaker panel

I am going to replace my 100 amp service with a 200 amp service, meaning I will be changing out my main panel in the house.

If it turns out that the existing circuit wiring does not reach the breakers in the new panel, is it legal, according to the NEC, to use jumper wires connected with wirenuts inside of the panel to extend the branch circuit to the breaker?
