How many rewriterules do I need for this task??

All the pages on my site are of the form

http://www.mysite/arg1-arg1value-arg2-arg2value- ... argN-argNvalue.html

and need to be rewritten as

http://www.mysite/afile.php?arg1=arg...rg2=arg2value& ...
argN=argNvalue

Could I use N ReWriteRule statements to take care of my entire site? Would
the order matter?

Would each one look something like this?


RewriteRule ^([^-]+)-([^-]+)-([^-]+)-([^-]+)-([^-]+).html$
$1.php?$2=$3&$4=$5 [L]

thanks,
