For example you can set TM_LATEX to specify the engine and TM_LATEX_FLAGS to specify custom flags (which overrides the default ones). As far as I know you can only set environment variables on a per file basis if they're part of a project though.

All of Enas' information in this older post is very good, but my problem turned out to be much simpler: the LaTeX2 bundle doesn't like spaces in the TM_FILEPATH.
