No you cannot use more than two characters, and as Michiel pointed out, if thats your absolute need for reasons best known to you, for the unique nature of requirement that you have, then prefix it with whatever you want with an additional set fields action after the GUID has been generated. That should fly.

Remedy probably does not support longer prefixes because the idea is that a GUID is... well, unique. Now if your prefix would be four characters and the string would still be 30 characters in total, there would be a lot less possible GUIDs which may of course couse trouble... Frankly I would not see the point in using prefixes for GUIDs. They are too ugly, long and difficult to ever show to end users, and they are unique, even when you won't use prefixes, just because of the nature of a GUID.
