^gallery/([^/]+)/([^/]+)$
match REQUEST_URI that:
* starts with literal "gallery/"
* followed by one or more characters that are not "/"
* followed by a "/"
* ends with one or more characters that are not "/"

Your request:
gallery/galleryname/
* starts with literal "gallery/"
* followed by one or more characters that are not "/"
* followed by a "/"
* DOES NOT end with one or more characters that are not "/"

You can modify the rule to accept this, or create a second rule, I opt
for modification:

RewriteRule ^gallery/([^/]+)(/([^/]+))?$ /index.php?$3&gallery_name=$1 [QSA]
