In the first example: Let's say athletes go from the back squats, right into the jerks. Does that first jerk off the back rack count for the total? For this workout, I'd say yes. But only for that rep. Reason: A squat clean into your first front squat from the floor counts. Personally, I am going to run this from. The racks, and I don't expect anyone to get after it to the point that they would try to go straight into jerks after squats.
For example two: I see 20 squats and I think about how many reps I want everyone to have as a total at the end of the day. That total would be 100 reps. I'd ask at least 5 rounds from my group, and tell them to scale the pull-ups, jumprope, and load to get at least that. Fitter people will get another 2 to 3 rounds. If the goal really was to get everyone 12 rounds +, the reps would definitely have to be chopped. (Sense it isn't written that way, I'd personally not encourage it. Do the big set, take breaks, be sweaty.)
Great conversation! Thanks for doing these!
Our pleasure! Glad you enjoy them!

Curious as to why the comment of i would never go heavier?
So only faster matters?
