HELP - I'm so bad when it comes to understanding this technical gobbledygook!

SAMPLE, part of my current htaccess:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://forum.mokkels.nl/.*$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://forum2.mokkels.nl/.*$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://forum3.mokkels.nl/.*$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http(s)?://fusker.lewww.com/.*$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http(s)?://(www\.)?fusker.lewww.com/.*$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http(s)?://(www\.)?bbs.peachy18.com/.*$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http(s)?://(www\.)?images.devilfinder.com/.*$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http(s)?://(www\.)?devilfinder.com/.*$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http(s)?://(www\.)?grin-reaper.com/.*$ [NC]

Did your comment mean that I should NOT have lines like
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http(s)?://(www\.)?grin-reaper.com/.*$,
but rather 2 lines like
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://grin-reaper.com/.*$
and
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://www.grin-reaper.com/.*$
