The problem is that the regex makes '(\(.+\))' mandatory, but example 7
doesn't match it.

You can make it optional by wrapping it in a non-capturing group
(?:...), like this:

pat = r'([a-z].+?\s)(.+)(?:(\(.+\)))?'

Also, it's highly recommended that you use raw string literals
(r'...') when writing regex patterns and replacements.
