If there can be more matches in a line, maybe the non-greedy
quantifier ".*?", and a lookahead assertion can help.
You can try something like:
(?m)Render(?:Block|Table) (?:\(\w+\)|{\w+})(.+?(?=$|RenderBlock))?
(?m) multiline flag - also the end of line can be matched with $
.+? any character - one or more (no greedy, i.e. as little as possible)
(?=$|RenderBlock) the lookahead assertion - condition for the
following string - not part of the match - here the end of line/string
or "RenderBlock"
I guess, if you need to add more possibilities or conditions depending
on your source data, it might get too complex for a single regular
expression to match effectively.
