I think the TextMate string ranker plugin prioritises word boundaries
when doing string matching, which makes initials match higher than
words, but that's not quite what you're asking for. I also vaguely
recalls that plugin having issues with the newer builds.

Otherwise, I think there's no way to influence the string ranking
except to use the Assign Abbreviation action or to train it through
normal use.
