When the file is first imported, if you allow Calibre to set metadata from filename, the entire filename is available to Calibre, and it could be sent in its entirety into the series field (or author/title, etc.). You'd need to correctly populate the author/title in a second step.

Alternately, you could shuffle the filename into comments with S&R, re-add the file correctly as a new record, do a merge of the two records to keep the filename metadata, etc. to get it all into a single record. I'm not sure it's worth all this effort, but it's at least possible to do it this way.
