Ah!  The substrings you didn't want are in \5.

That would work.  You could still simplify the entry to

        WMO
                ^....[0-9][0-9]|....[0-9] (K|T|P|N)(...).*/p(...)(.|..|...)$
                PIPE
                -strip -close fileExceptRrsDpaRcm \2 \3 \4

and use the same script above.
