You can use

^(?:\d{1,3}\h+)?[^\d\s]\S+(?:\h+\S{2,}){0,3}$

See the regex demo

Details:

  • ^ - string start
  • (?:\d{1,3}\h+)? - an optional sequence of one, two or three digits followed with one or more horizontal whitespaces
  • [^\d\s] - a char other than a digit and whitespace
  • \S+ - one or more non-whitespaces
  • (?:\h+\S{2,}){0,3} - zero to three sequences of one or more horizontal whitespaces and then two or more non-whitespace chars
  • $ - string end.
