I think this is a more complete rule that should be slightly more efficient and thorough even though it's 3 separate 
matches:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Range} bytes=0-[0-9]+, [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Range} bytes=([0-9-],){4,} [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Range} bytes=[0-9,-]+,0-(,|$) [NC]
RewriteRule .? http://%{SERVER_NAME}/ [NS,L,F]

I cannot remember if the second RewriteCond's syntax is supported by mod_rewrite and don't have a machine handy right 
this moment to test effectiveness anyhow.

This should stop any requests with a range starting with 0- specified as a range (first and third rule) or 4 or more 
ranges included (second rule).

Works (too) well here. Are there any workarounds other than rate
limiting or detecting + dropping the traffic IPS-wise?

You can use the following redirect as a temporally workaround:

# a2enmod rewrite

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Range} bytes=0-.* [NC]
RewriteRule .? http://%{SERVER_NAME}/ [R=302,L]
