ErrorDocument works inside of <LocationMatch> and its argument specifies the
new URL-path.   

It's probably easier to extend ErrorDocument then to extend mod_rewrite --
mod_rewrite never runs after a status code has been determined by whichever
handler is in charge.  One possible extension would be to make ErrrorDocument
take an expression as an argument (as in
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/expr.html)

For static files, you can also work around the DOCUMENT_ROOT issue by putting
your rewrites in per-directory context.  The core will have mapped the URL to a
filename and %{REQUEST_FILENAME} will be a filesystem path.

There's also FallBackResource.
