Are the requests similar enough that you can write a single regular expression,
or maybe two or three, that extracts the useful part from the URL in every case?
For example,
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/mmh/
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} \%2F(\w+)\.xml$
RewriteRule .* /mmh/articles/authored/%1
If you can describe all of the requests in this way or something like it, you're
done. If not, if each request is so different that it needs its own regular
expression, then it seems you're doomed to keep doing it as you are now.
Good luck,
Andrew.
