Here's a simplified solution that uses the range operator to return the first two elements and assign them to variables:

$a,$b = '02|05|002|004|0014|0035|R'.Split('|')[0..1]

Put them to the array using select -first

$state = '02|05|002|004|0014|0035|R'
$list = @()
$list = $state.ToString().Split("|") | select -First 2
[string] $a = $list[0]
[string] $b = $list[1]
write-host $a
write-host $b
