Apache mod_rewrite redirect more that 10 query strings URL in .htaccess

I have a very long URL. More thant 10 query strings:

http://www.domain.com/test.php?aq=arg1&sw=arg2&de=arg3&fr=>=&hy=&ju=&ki=&lo=&cp=&za=&xs=&cd=&vf=

I want to redirect this page to:

http://www.domain.com/makemyday/art1/arg2/arg3 ...

Following .htaccess works only till the 9th parameter.

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^aq=([^&]*)&sw=([^&]*)   ... repeating the same here ...  [NC]
RewriteRule ^test\.php$ /makemyday/%1/%2/%3/%4/%5/%6/%7/%8/%9/%10/%11/%12/%13/%14? [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^makemyday/(.*)/ ... repeating the same here ... (.*)/?$ test.php?search=do&aq=$1&sw=$2 ... repeating the same here ... [L,NC]

Open in new window

I get the following result:

http://www.domain.com/makemyday/arg1/arg2/arg3////////1/2/3/4

Maybe it is a similar solution ... i will rephrase the question:

How to get more than 10 query string variables from this URL:

http://www.domain.com/makemyday/first/arg/1/fdrh/s/dd/1/sdf/sdf/ad/sdfd/sdfasdf/aa/34rgf

RewriteRule ^makemyday/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)/?$ test.php?make=Y&aq=$1&sw=$2&de=$3&fr=$4&gt=$5&hy=$6&ju=$7&ki=$8&lo=$9&cp=$10&za=$11&xs=$12&cd=$13&vf=$14 [L,NC]

Open in new window

I am only able to get first 9. Here is the $_GET array:

(
    [make] => Y
    [kw] => first
    [tp] => arg
    [ac] => 1
    [ae] => fdrh
    [ct] => s
    [zp] => dd
    [mi] => 1
    [ma] => sdf
    [be] => sdf
    [ba] => first0
    [yb] => first1
    [sf] => first2
    [vw] => first3
    [ft] => first4
)

From the manual, at http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_rewrite.html#rewritecond:

RewriteRule backreferences: These are backreferences of the form $N (0 <= N <= 9), which provide access to the grouped parts (in parentheses) of the pattern, from the RewriteRule which is subject to the current set of RewriteCond conditions..

RewriteCond backreferences: These are backreferences of the form %N (1 <= N <= 9), which provide access to the grouped parts (again, in parentheses) of the pattern, from the last matched RewriteCond in the current set of conditions.

If your query strings are as complicated as that, consider moving the redirection process to your code.
