No, but for a number-%-sequence there are many flags available to
customize how it is printed.
,----[ C-h f format RET ]
| The argument used for %d, %o, %x, %e, %f, %g or %c must be a number.
| Use %% to put a single % into the output.
|
| A %-sequence may contain optional flag, width, and precision
| specifiers, as follows:
|
| %<flags><width><precision>character
|
| where flags is [+ #-0]+, width is [0-9]+, and precision is .[0-9]+
