This is not a Zope problem, but an apache feature. 


If you rewrite Zope to Zope.cgi/projectsite/site1

then a reference to Zope/projectsite/site1 is rewritten to

Zope.cgi/projectsite/site1/projectsite/site1

Note that Zope.cgi/projectsite/site1 replaces every reference to Zope in
the rewrite rule, just AS YOU ASKED IT TO.  Repeated requests continue
to add to the length of the url, as you noticed.  This one bit me too. 
I couldn't understand why the apache rewrite rule would actually do what
I asked.  8=)
