Since your names are all standardized I don’t see a need for REGEX if you stick to rules.
However, I’m not sure about how the TCP/UDP binding works, but if you can define more than one Item on the same socket you can drop the Tex_UDP_Incoming and the rule entirely and define each Item along the lines of:
Number Tex_GV_Z036 { udp="<[192.168.3.10:*:'REGEX(Z036[\d])']" }
Number Tex_GV_Z035 { udp="<[192.168.3.10:*:REGEX(Z035[\d])]" }
Note I’m not certain about that REGEX. It may need parens instead of brackets. The [\d] is supposed to match the last digit and becomes what the Item’s state gets set to. The first part will only match those packets that start with that String.
