Conceptually, one location{} for the things you want, plus one for all
else, *is* the easy way to do it.

(That's more or less the same as one location{} for the things you don't
want, plus one for all else.)

Arguably the cleaner way is to have one exact location{} for each thing
you want, plus one for the rest, but I guess you're not looking for that.

So: what is "the contents of the root folder"? If it is "exactly these
file names", then your current

location ~ ^/(one|two|three)$

is correct. If it is "any request without a second /", then

location ~ ^/[^/]*$

should work.

And if you go the other way, and have "location /" as your "this is
the root folder" block, then "all else" would be "any request with two
slashes", which could be

location ~ /.*/

(All untested, by the way.)

Good luck with it,
