Yes. The part in red is captured to make initials.
Code:
Name: #initials. Template: {#stripped_series:re([\s]?([^\s])[^\s]+(\s|$),\1)}
Change it to
where x is the number of characters you want (including the first time).
So using {1,3} means use that set [^\s] at least once and not more than 3x.
{0,1} is another way of saying "?", or "optional". (Either match only the initial time, or not at all.)

) on repeating characters see:
