I assume you have read the documentation, in particular  
http://damonlynch.net/rapid/documentation/#renamemetadata

This may also interest you, taken from comments in the code:

       The short format is determined by the first occurrence of a 
digit in the
       camera model, including all alphaNumeric characters before and 
after
       that digit up till a non-alphanumeric character.
      
       Canon "Mark" designations are shortened prior to conversion.
      
       Examples:
       Canon EOS 300D DIGITAL -> 300D
       Canon EOS 5D -> 5D
       Canon EOS 5D Mark II -> 5DMkII
       NIKON D2X -> D2X
       NIKON D70 -> D70
       X100,D540Z,C310Z -> X100
      

More generally, the program does not use configuration files. The goal 
is to configure it only through the use of its user interface. Custom 
remapping is a fine idea, and you are welcome to submit code. Writing 
this code takes some time. For me it is a "nice" but not high priority 
feature, especially compared to some others.
