I don't think it's possible to do it with a single RE.

However, one can use the RE extractor to extract the specific set of
options into a variable, and then use the __regexFunction() to split
the variable. But XPath is simpler.

It might be useful to enhance the RE extractor to operate on a subset
of the body...
