If you define a variable, you can control the value to be assigned with
conditions.

Try something like this (untested):

<xsl:variable name="strUnitBlock">

  <xsl:choose>
    <xsl: when test="($strUnitBlock != '') and ($strUnitSeperator != '')">
      <xsl:value-of select="concat($strUnitBlock, $strUnitSeperator)"/>
    </xsl:when>
    <xsl:otherwise>
      <xsl:value-of select="$strUnitNumber"/>
    </xsl:otherwise>
  </xsl:choose>

</xsl:variable>
