The standard "set" directive does not support arithmetic operations at
all. But it's an ideal use case for our ngx_lua module:

location ~ /i/(.*)\.jpg {
set_by_lua $folder 'return ngx.var[1] - (ngx.var[1] % 100)';
try_files /i/$folder/$1.jpg =400;
}

See http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpLuaModule for details.
