    It depends on which one you want to be applied first and if the RewriteBase can be applied to both set of rules (I’m assuming it can because the 2nd rule doesn’t really care what the base is). You can also remove the duplicate RewriteEngine On directives:

    # this is more or less something separate from rewrite engine
ErrorDocument 503 /system/maintenance.html

# turn on the rewrite engine
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

# do www to non-www redirect
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.yourdomain.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://yourdomain.com/$1 [L,R=301]

# Handle maintenance
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !.(css|gif|jpg|png)$
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/system/maintenance.html -f
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !maintenance.html
RewriteRule ^.*$  -  [redirect=503,last]

    This order means even if maintanence, the www to non-www still happens. If they were the other way around, you’d get maintanence handled regardless of whether the hostname was www or non-www.
