First of all, I wonder how you can be sure that a 100-pages-proof is correct before you even have typed it in completely -- at least unless it consists mostly of routine computations!

As to your question, I think one proof should ideally be given in one paper, or a least in two papers in the same journal. -- Well, of course there are some proofs distributed over MANY papers, like the one of the Classification of Finite Simple Groups, but that's probably something different ... .
