I am puzzled by a slightly more complicated version:
        how to match a '%' character following the 2nd occurrence of "home"?
/^.\{-}\%(home.\{-1,}\)\{N}home.\{-}\zs%

where N is 1 for the "2nd occurrence" (N is 2 for the third occurrence, etc).

This pattern matches up to and including the 2nd home, extends past a minimal amount of anything up to but not including a %, whereupon the pattern matching starts.
