I'm not certain what you mean by that, but I would guess that you want
the nvme disk to show up as /dev/sda, and the USB disk(s) to show up
as /dev/sd[b-z].
It is not possible to accomplish this using udev; the kernel owns the
/dev/sdX device namespace, and will sequentially create devices nodes
for SCSI-like block devices using that namespace. There is no way to
change that using a udev rule.
