File Name problem with save to disk

When I fill an sd card for my tablet I like the names of my files in a specific format. (usually series and number - title - authors)

Using save to disk this works UNTIL I have an anthology with multiple authors. When the authors line exceeds the system limit (too many characters for the os) the name of the file is truncated before the authors.

I like being able to have all 32 or whatever authors in a large anthology listed in the calibre program but of course don't want it on the file that is going to go to my device to read.

Is there a way to have the series and title in full with whatever will fit of the authors? or better yet, a way to specify that authors are not to exceed "x" number of characters? It is quite frustrating to find a file in my "save to " directory with the name "b.epub" or "y.epub".

Lord, what I really need I guess is a "save to disk author" and a "calibre author for management purposes" lol.

Any ideas on the best way to do this are appreciated.
