Running the following query gives me a result with different field values.
index="XXXX" host="POLO*" | stats count by URL | sort-count
URI | count
/pup/folks/xy/hollow/yellow/red | 7
/pup/folks/xy/hollow/yellow/1234567/usage | 1
/pup/police/xy/laptop/MASTER/hollow/1234567 | 1
/pup/folks/xy/hollow/yellow/1234567/usage | 1
/pup/police/xy/laptop/MASTER/hollow/123456 | 1
/pup/folks/xy/hollow/yellow/12345/usage | 1
/pup/folks/xy/hollow/yellow | 1
/pup/police/xy/laptop/MASTER/hollow/12345 | 1
/pup/folks/xy/hollow/yellow/123456/usage | 5
/pup/folks/xy/hollow/yellow/123456/usage | 5
/pup/folks/xy/hollow/yellow/123456/usage | 5
/pup/police/xy/laptop/MASTER/hollow/123456 | 5
/pup/police/xy/laptop/MASTER/hollow/123456 | 5
/pup/folks/xy/hollow/yellow/123456/usage | 4
Is there a way to show them like this? (Merge). What I have done below is take all the strings that matches "/pup/folks/xy/hollow/yellow/*/usage", and took a consolidated count.
/pup/folks/xy/hollow/yellow/*/usage | 22
/pup/police/xy/laptop/MASTER/hollow/* | 13

if you used a replace command, i think it will work. using _ instead of *, as we all know that * is a wildcard and I tried to escape it with \, but couldn't get it to work. might be another way, though.
|replace "/pup/folks/xy/hollow/yellow/*/usage" with "/pup/folks/xy/hollow/yellow/_/usage"
|replace "/pup/police/xy/laptop/MASTER/hollow/*" with "/pup/police/xy/laptop/MASTER/hollow/_"

I should have been more clear in asking the question.

if you're looking for a rex command, is this what you're looking for:
| rex field=User mode=sed "s/\/pup\/folks\/xy\/hollow\/yellow\/.*\/usage/\/pup\/folks\/xy\/hollow\/yellow\/*\/usage/"
| rex field=User mode=sed "s/\/pup\/police\/xy\/laptop\/MASTER\/hollow\/.*/\/pup\/police\/xy\/laptop\/MASTER\/hollow\/*/"
|stats sum(count) as total by User
