All you can really do is increase the number you use for the right-side from 2 to something bigger. It won't make the hyphenation problems disappear but it might make them slightly less irritating

If you're using the calibre KoboTouchExtended driver to create your sideloaded kepubs I believe its config widget allows you to choose your hyphenation right/left values.
Do the hyphenation settings in the KoboTouchExtended driver override the the settings in the hyphenation dictionary?
This is what's in the hyphenation dictionary.
