I think I figured it out.

I changed my series column to this:

{author_sort:.1}/{author_sort}/{series:ifempty ({#DD})||/}{series_index:0>2s|| - }{title} and it works.

Columns cc and dd are as follows:

Lookup Name: cc
Column Heading: Stand Alone Novels
Column Type: Text, column displayed in tag browser

Example of data:
Novels - Brandon Sanderson

Lookup Name: dd
Column Heading: Stand Alone Save
Column Type: {#CC:shorten(6,,0)}

Example of Data:
Novels

so by combing the series and stand alone template I get these results:

Book in a series:
P/Patterson, James/Alex Cross/20 - Cross My Heart

Book that is stand alone
S/Sanderson, Brandon/Novels/Legion

I still think I could accomplish everything I want to do in one column, but I am not savvy enough in the scripting to do it.
