Are there any other specifiers than %n?

Specifiers for what?

for in conf files alliases e.g

alias "Bob" {
format "^#" {
target "Bob";
type services;
parameters "4BOB 8%N: %1-";
};
format "^[^#]" {
target "Bob";
type services;
parameters "4BOB 8%N: %1-";
};
type command;
};

And the documentation says:

To specify all parameters from a given parameter to the end do % followed by the number and a -, for example %2- returns all parameters from the second till the last. Additionally, you may specify %n which will be replaced by the nickname of the user who executed the command. For examples of using the alias block in the command format, consult doc/example.conf.

so no is the answer?

The answer is yes. In addition to %n, you have %1, %2, %3, %4, %5... and you also have %1-, %2-, %3-, %4-, %5-...

Those are all.

Why are you using an alias block with the format features if you make them do the exact same thing? Use one without the format features. READ THE DOCUMENTATION to see how to do this.

The documentation will tell you all of that. In fact I told you less than it did.
