Apache SSL Rewrite with Wildcard Subdomains

I'm attempting to setup an SSL redirect in Apache using RewriteEngine that will do the following:

My reasoning for this is that I'm developing a project that's using a free SSL certificate until launch. This certificate covers the base domain, but none of the wildcard subdomains, and it's a pain to need to bypass the warning every time I visit one of the subdomains.

Edit: I believe I'm close here, but I still can't get the HTTPS to HTTP redirect to work properly.

RewriteEngine on
# Redirect domain and www to HTTPS
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} =mydomain.com [or]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} =www.mydomain.com
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
# Redirect wildcard subdomains to HTTP
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.+)\.mydomain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

Figured it out. By moving these rules from the sites-available/default file to an .htaccess inside of the website root, I was able to get this working properly.

RewriteEngine on
# Redirect domain and www to HTTPS
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} =mydomain.com [or]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} =www.mydomain.com
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
# Redirect wildcard subdomains to HTTP
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.+)\.mydomain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !=www.mydomain.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
