Funny! Or make the Id the 1st parameter, e. g.:

%%% test.tex %%%
\def\RCSId $#1: #2,v #3 #4/#5/#6 #7 #8 #9 ${%
  \def\fileRCSversion{#3}%
  \def\fileRCSdate{#4-#5-#6}%
  \def\fileRCStime{#7Z}%
}%
\RCSId $Id: test.tex,v 1.2 2003/12/19 14:21:58 hahe Exp hahe $

Version: \fileRCSversion\filbreak
Date: \fileRCSdate\filbreak
Time: \fileRCStime
\bye
%%% test.tex %%%
