%L is equivalent to %l_%t.%c. At least, in practice; the Intrinsics
documentation states that the parsing of a language specification into
the language, territory and codeset parts is implementation-dependent. 
If the implementation uses the %l_%t.%c syntax, then %l_%t.%c and %L
are equivalent; if it uses some other syntax, then %l_%t.%c isn't
appropriate.

You can always override the search path via $XFILESEARCHPATH
(similarly, $XUSERFILESEARCHPATH for per-user files). Alternatively,
for cases where you have the intermediate %l.%c or %l_%t forms, you
can always add "stub" files under %L which simply #include the more
general versions.
