The content model of a varlistentry is: varlistentry ::= (term+,listitem)
See http://www.docbook.org/tdg/en/html/varlistentry.html See http://www.docbook.org/tdg5/en/html/varlistentry.html (for DocBook 5). In your case, you have 1 term followed by 2 listitems. When you don't understand something like this, simply press Shift-F1 (Help > Show Content Model) and you'll see the content model of the explicitly or implicitly selected element.
