Using multiple keys in AUCTeX LaTeX-math-list

Question

LaTeX-math-mode in AUCTeX is very convenient for shorcuts. For example, I define the following in my .emacs file:

(defconst LaTeX-math-list '(?f "frac")))

Then if I type `f the Emacs buffer displays \frac{} which saves a lot of typing.

My question is: is it possible to use multiple keys for shorcuts? I would like to type `ba so that the Emacs buffer displays

\begin{align}
  \label{eq:}
\end{align}

Is this possible using LaTeX-math-list?

Similarly I would like to use `bs so that Emacs displays

\begin{equation}
  \begin{split}
  \end{split}
  \label{eq:}
\end{equation}

I think you're better off using cdlatex as a minor mode within AUCTeX. Form the README:

OVERVIEW

CDLaTeX is a minor mode supporting mainly mathematical and scientific text development with LaTeX. CDLaTeX is really about speed. AUCTeX (the major mode I recommend for editing LaTeX files) does have a hook based system for inserting environments and macros - but while this is useful and general, it is sometimes slow to use. CDLaTeX tries to be quick, with very few and easy to remember keys, and intelligent on-the-fly help.

Check the features from README and install it from MELPA if you want to give it a roll.
