Not with CC's template processing. It can be done in calibre's language because it supports processing values by regular expressions. This isn't something I want to (try to) add to CC.

The more I hear about what you are trying to do the more I think that the best way for you to proceed is to populate a custom column with the template you want to use for the series. For most series it would be empty (?), but for these Rhodan series it would contain the real template. You can do this with CC's current template processing.

And hoping to not give offense: why does the file name matter so much? Neither CC nor most reader apps care about it, other than to want the same name on multiple devices so reading positions sync properly.
