What are you trying to accomplish?

If your URI is /sub $variable1 becomes 7.

If your URI is /sub $variable2 becomes 23.

It works as it should. I don't see any issue. Also your rewrite is
unnecessary. Try this:

return 301 /index.php?key1=$variable1&key2=$variable2;

Do you mean that the request URI can contain both /pep and /sub?Like
this:

http://example.com/sub/pep/other-stuff-if-any

If so then your matching must be done with a regex:

map $uri $variable1 {
  default 11;
  ~/sub 7;
}

map $uri $variable2 {
  default 78;
  ~/pep 23;
}
