Using arrays to build the command is useful because the arguments are
absolutely defined in each element of the array - i.e. the arguments to
the exec call are correctly built.
I think the simplest way of doing what you want on a command line is to
use two separate variables:
MSG1="file 2"
MSG2="csv"
/opt/libreoffice5.4/program/soffice.bin --headless --convert-to $MSG2 "$MSG1"
