What about

for $parsed-query-term in $parsed-data
let $parse-query-value := substring-after($parsed-query-term,"=")
let $parameter-name := substring-before($parsed-query-term,
concat("=", $parse-query-value))
return <row attr="{$parameter-name}">{xmldb:decode($parse-query-value)}</row>

Alternatively you can simply split again:

for $parsed-query-term in $parsed-data
let $kv := tokenize($parsed-query-term, '=')
let $key := $kv[1]
let $value := string-join($kv[position()>1],'=')
return <row attr="{$key}">{xmldb:decode($value)}</row>

As the value might contain '=' (I think, or does that need to be
percent encoded?), $kv might contain multiple value parts, so the
string-join is necessary to glue them together again.
