Answer 1

neither Redirect nor RedirectMatch allow you to specify a query string for the redirect source. [Source]

You have to use mod-rewrite for redirecting based on query string:

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING}  ^p=375$
RewriteRule (.*)  http://www.example.org/content/MyNewPage?  [R=301,L]

Answer 2

You may consider use ModRewrite in your htaccess

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING}     ^p=345$    [NC]
RewriteRule index.php content/MyNewPage [NC,L,R=301]

</IfModule>

And you also may want to pass the old page id to the new URL concatenated (or maybe by QS?):

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING}     ^p=(.*)$    [NC]
RewriteRule index.php content/MyNewPage-%1 [NC,L,R=301]

</IfModule>
