Those both require character-level variables to work as written, which are evil.
They can be accomplished in a hacky way, if you really need it:
@var $a 1px;
p { width: calc( 100 * $a ); }
@var $b 200;
p { width: calc( $b * 1px ); }
Well-defined unit algebra is much better than hacky character macros. ^_^
