Yes

You can make one rule, but then your index.php has to be able to handle
the case that page can be empty (e.g. page=). I.e. change the original
rule into:

RewriteRule foo/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)/(\d*)$
/foo/index.php?$1=$2&$3=$4&page=$5

And don't add the one I gave earlier.

BTW: I would replace each .* with .+ because now

RewriteRule foo/////$

Also calls your index.php. I am not sure if it can handle that one,
moreover, do you want URLs like that one to be possible.
