use either this:
exim -be '${sg{foo;bar\;baz\\;zot\\\;biff\\\\;bing}{\N\\*;\N}{\N\\;\N}}'

or this
exim -be '${sg{foo;bar\;baz\\;zot\\\;biff\\\\;bing}{\\\\*;}{\\\\\\;}}'

The problem is, that first exim unescapes the \\ to \ then then pcre
will do so too, your string would result in

exim -be '${sg{foo;bar\;baz\\;zot\\\;biff\\\\;bing}{*;}{;}}'

you see?

If you enclose a string in \N exim will just pass it as it is.
