The Spanish and Portuguese in London (and here in Jerusalem where we mostly
follow London minhagim) blow 100, (not counting the final Teru'a Gedola) as
follows:

Di-meyushav :
TSRT TSRT TSRT
TST TST TST
TRT TRT TRT

No Shofar in the silent Amida. In Hhazarat Hashatz:
Malchuyot: TSRT TSRT TSRT
Zichronot: TST TST TST
Shofarot: TRT TRT TRT

In the middle of Kaddish:
TSRT TST TRT

After Kaddish:
TSRT TSRT TSRT
TST TST TST
TRT TRT TRT

Sephardi Yerushalmi also blow 100, but distributed slightly differently. In
both the silent Amida and repetition they blow TSRT TST TRT for each of M, Z
and S, and they omit the 30 kolot after Kaddish.
