Then @var is not applicable here at all, since it doesn't stand for
anything.  You should say (I also fixed some unclear or confusing
wording) something like this:

    The POSIX-like locale code @code{"@var{LL}_ AT var{CC}.@var{CP}"}
    consists of the ISO two-letter lowercase language code @var{LL},
    the ISO two-letter uppercase country code @var{CC} optionally
    followed by the suffix @code{"_EURO"} if the country has adopted
    the Euro as its currency unit, and the codepage number @var{CP} (a
    number between 1 and 65534).  For example, @samp{"de_AT.850"} is
    the locale code for the German-speaking Austrian locale, and
    @samp{"fr_BE_EURO.850"} is for the French-speaking Belgian locale
    using the Euro, both using Western multilingual ``Latin-1'' code
    page number 850.

In other words, @var{CC} stands for either a two-letter country code
or for a country code followed by "_EURO".
