So, what would the rpm be named? foo-3.80.1-1.rpm or foo-3.80-1-1.rpm?
Is the latter a possibility?

In this case, I do not think there is ever going to be another
release, so I just have to worry about my own re-release names for
each patch and spec file update. The vendor was quite specific in
their wording, the version is 3.80 and the release is 1. These are the
names of the packages on their website:
foo-source-3.80-1.tar.gz
foo-3.80-1.rpm
foo-3.80-1.deb
