Hello,
The problem is not about the length of the Autotext. You will have the same
problem whatever the length of the Autotext. In LibreOffice Autotext must be
identified as a single word. It is not possible have the name of the Autotext
sticked to other letters.
The enhancement would require a better detection of the name of Autotext:
search among Autotext if one is present just near cursor, even if not separated
with blanks as a word.

For your application, I would suggest an Autocorrect replacement instead of
Autotext: 
Replace: .*fi.*
By: fi
will work any time you type "fi" (alone, at the beginning/middle/end of a
word), whatever your font is. Replacement is carry out ALL THE TIME, when word
is finished.
