    Your RewriteCond‘s test pattern is a little off, but you got the right idea:

    RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !(\A|&)q=.*

    Note that the RewriteCond only applies to the next RewriteRule, so if you want to perform this exclusion for all four of your rules, you’ll need to copy the RewriteCond above each of them.
