I can point subdomains to subfolders, but not sub-subfolders. How can I?

RewriteEngine on


# Rewrite <subdomain>.example.com/<path> to example.com/<subdomain>/<path>
#
# Skip rewrite if no hostname or if subdomain is www
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} .
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
# Extract (required) subdomain (%1), and first path element (%3), discard port number if present (%2)
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}<>%{REQUEST_URI} ^([^.]+)\.hostingz\.org(:80)?<>/([^/]*) [NC]
# Rewrite only when subdomain not equal to first path element (prevents mod_rewrite recursion)
RewriteCond %1<>%3 !^(.*)<>\1$ [NC]
# Rewrite to /subdomain/path
RewriteRule ^(.*) /%1/$1 [L]

What that code does is redirect http://subdomain.hostingz.org to http://hostingz.org/subdomain. And it works!

But how do I modify the last line, the RewriteRule so that it redirects to sites/(then the subdomain).

So http://subdomain.hostingz.org --> http://hostingz.org/sites/subdomain.

How can it be done? And test it out first as the examples below do not work.

RewriteRule sites/^(.*) /%1/$1 [L]

or

 RewriteRule sites^(.*) /sites/%1/$1 [L]

RewriteRule ^(.*) /sites/%1/$1 [L]
