you can use whatever you want.
using [pack] is very simple, and your c++ (or whatever) application shouldn't
have to much trouble with it, as it is a simple string with spaces delimited.
using [makefilename] might be problematic as it only eats one arguments.
a solution to pack several atoms into a single symbol might be zexy's [l2s]
(list2symbol)

or you could use 2 different messages for sending the 2 values (not 1 single
message)
e.g: [send x $1( and [send y $1(
and if you really hate these spaces (for whatever reasons), you could use
[makefilename] or the special uses of $ to construct messages like

[123\
|
[makefilename x=%f]
|
[send $1(
|
[netsend]

of simpler, but different

[123\
|
[send $1=x(
|
[netsend]
