Ah, then you're probably looking for something like

You might also want to look at

[snip]

and you are aware that this breaks the normal functionality of the \chapter
command? where

\chapter[short]{long}

results in

short in the header and the toc and long as the chapter title.

and in memoir you could even do

\chapter[toc][header]{title}

Perhaps it would be easier to declare an own chapter command like:

\newcommand\mychapter[2]{ \chapter[#1]{#1, #2}}

Maybe I'm missing something subtle, but whats the difference with:
\newcommand*{\chapSub}[1]{#1}
or
\newcommand*\chapSub[1][]{ \ifthenelse{\equal{#1}{}}{\relax}{#1}}}
?

The former requires the argument in braces, and the braces must be
provided even when the parameter is null.

The latter requires the argument in square brackets, and the brackets
may be omitted in the case of a null argument.
