Mapping this function

Function[l, MapIndexed[If[First[#2] < Length[ l], Sequence @@ {100 + 
#1, -1}, #1] &, l]]

onto your list will do it:


Function[l,MapIndexed[
     If[First[#2]<Length[l],Sequence@@{100+#1,-1},#1]&,l]]/@{{1,2,3},{4,
           5},{6,7,8,9}}


{{101,-1,102,-1,3},{104,-1,5},{106,-1,107,-1,108,-1,9}}
