You could do this already by truncating digits from nanos, but it'd be a
lot more convenient if date had an option, and hopefully not too hard to
add.
As you wrote, it's very easy to do with truncating (i.e., adding a width
specifier):
$ date +"%3N %6N %N"
892 892103 892103049
Since it's only adding a single digit, I'm not sure consuming two
more dedicated letters is worth it.
