Maybe you could try to use Conditional Insertions mentioned in the TM  
manual chapter 20.4.3
http://manual.macromates.com/en/regular_expressions

Naïve example:

I have the string

123456

and I want to get

123457

by using this regexp:

123(.)(.)7

this won't work:

123$1$27 because $27 isn't set

but this should work

123$1$2(?0:)7


(?0:) is a kind of dummy and inserts nothing
