You do understand what ^(.+)$ converts to? It means: "from the start, 1 or more of any character (greedy), to the end"
That is, it will match the entire URI, no matter what it is.
Rather than asking for a theoretical explanation of why your pattern doesn't work, why not describe what you're trying to achieve and explain why you think you need this pattern. Eg,
- what is the input URL?
- what do you want the output to look like?

and the same error message
mod_rewrite: maximum number of internal redirects reached
Why is my pattern ^(.+)$ causing an infinite loop here?
This does not happen if the substitution string does not match the pattern itself, as in
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} (first|second|third|fourth)
RewriteRule ^(something)$ %1/$1 [L,R,NC]
Thanks,
Jan
