Rex match if else style

Here are three lines of the file to illustrate what I'm going for:

Line from fileDesired field
URI : https://URL.net/tokentoken
URI : https://URL.net/rest/v1/checkrest/v1/check
URI : https://URL.net/service_name/3.0.0/accounts/bahservice_name


I have successfully extracted the 3rd example using this: 
rex field=_raw "URI.+\:\shttp.+\.(net|com)\/(?<URI_ABR>.+)\/\d+\."

That does not match the other two though so no field is extracted. Is there a way to say if it doesn't match that regex then capture till the end of line?

I've tried this but then the 3rd example also captures everything till the end of the line:
rex field=_raw "URI.+\:\shttp.+\.(net|com)\/(?<URI_ABR>.+)(\/\d+\.|\n)"

The desired extractions are inconsistent.  The first two want everything after the domain, but the third wants only the first segment after the domain.  Please specify the rules for extracting URI_ABR.

Unfortunately, there are two different rules at play. One needs everything after the URL and the other only needs the URI which is a service name. That's what I've been struggling with.
