The first RewriteRule matches the request whatever.html and then changes
it to:

pdisplay.php?page=p2/whatever&type=html

The second rule uses the *same* pattern to match and tries to match the
above.

It looks like you actually wanted to use the following rule:

RewriteRule ^([^/]+)\.htm$ gdisplay.php?page=g2/$1&type=htm
-------------------------^ (removed extra "l" in the pattern)
