I believe the following is clearer and it avoids multiple expansions of 

string to lower [HTTP::host]
:

when HTTP_REQUEST {
    if { [HTTP::uri] eq "/" } {
        switch [string tolower [HTTP::host]] {
            "placeone.com" -
            "www.placeone.com" {
                HTTP::respond 301 Location "https://www.placetwo.com/subplace/"
                return
            }
        }
    }

    HTTP::respond 301 Location "https://www.placeone.com[HTTP::uri]"
}

You may also consider using a Local Traffic Policy. This is particularly true if you are running 12.x.
