This has been discussed before. It's ceratainly possible, but not with the current design for the save template, which uses Python string templates and available string formatting operations. It would need a conditional inside the string template.
This little bugaboo has been around for a while. Feel free to add it as a request in the bug tracker (Search first, it may already be there and on the ToDo list). The problem is that it's a minor annoyance and may be too much work for too little reward. Personally, I just skip the hyphen, use spaces and put the series_index at the front (which is where I want it for sorting anyway.)
