When I search for a number and an associated engineering unit, e.g. number1 word1 w/24, which may not be adjacent, it appears that REX starts at the maximium buffer limit, e.g. 24, and then works toward the word. It therefore identifies a some other number rather than the number that is closest to the engineering unit. Is there a way to force REX to start at the word and work its way outward?

Not really. Anything within the delimiters is considered valid. I would guess you're only caring because of the hit hilighting. You might be able to use a different query for hilighting, like a single rex to match both items.
