Simple .htaccess problem preserve urlstring sometimes

Hello

I have what I think is a simple problem, but have not been able to resolve.

I have some rewrite rules working, and a rule working to cover urls with and without a trailing /
However, for legacy reasons I must be able to accept urls containing index.php without any alteration, and by newly added first rule is an attempt to do that.

The 3 rules below the 1st are doing exactly as intended.

This is the .htaccess file

RewriteEngine on
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteRule ^[a-z0-9_-]+/[a-z0-9_-]+/index.php/*(.+/)?([^.]*[^/])$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^/*(.+/)?([^.]*[^/])$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1$2/
RewriteRule ^pssny/([^\/]+)/$ pssny/application.php?source=$1
RewriteRule ^nypta/([^\/]+)/$ nypta/application.php?source=$1
