Comments:
I did jumping squats for the first 20 squats of each round, and then switched to regular squats for the remaining 80. In the last round i discovered "hopping squats" - which wasn't quite jumping, but it was standing up powerfully enough to get my heels an inch or two off the ground. I found myself doing them without even consciously thinking about it, so i don't even know when i started doing them that way.

In the first round I got to about 15 jumping squats in the first set, and then had to do them in sets of 1 after that up to 20. the second round was 9 or 10 consecutive, the 3rd and 4th round were 2 or 3 consecutive, with singles after that up to 20.

for the last 80 of each round I tried to do sets of 10, with minimal shaking out as necessary mid 'set' and then once i hit an even 10, i could take a slightly longer break - walking around a bit as necessary to shake out my legs enough to do the next set. I was able to do this pretty consistently through abou rep 70 for all rounds, and after that, rests started getting longer.

Ultimately, this workout went much better than i thought it would. I wasn't even sure, before it started, given the brutal difficulty of the workout a couple weeks ago with the high volume of squats, whether I would be able to complete the whole thing, but while my legs WERE complete jello when i was finished, I was not a complete wreck when i was done, either.
