Try:
RewriteRule
^/category/?([^/]*)/?([^/]*)/?([^/]*)/?([^/]*)/?([^/]*)/?([^/]*)/?([^/]*)/?([^/]*)/?$
/category.cfm?cat1=$1&cat2=$2&cat3=$3&cat4=$4...
The above rule handles up to 8 (I arbitrarily stopped the rule)
arguments embedded in the URL. I know this will work up to 9. I'm not
sure it is valid beyond that as I don't know how the reference to the
parenthesized strings above 9 would be done.
