(Didn't appear this very same question already some time ago?)


Replace[ls , {x__, y_} :> 
    Flatten@Append[Transpose[{{x} + 100, PadLeft[{}, Length[{x}], -1]}],

        y], {1}]

Replace[ls , {x__, 
      y_} :> {Apply[Sequence, 
        Transpose[{{x} + 100, PadLeft[{}, Length[{x}], -1]}], {0, 1}], 
      y}, {1}]

Replace[ls , {xx__, y_} :> 
    Append[Replace[{xx}, x_ :> Sequence[x + 100, -1], {1}], y], {1}]

Replace[Replace[ls, 
    x_ :> Sequence[x + 100, -1], {2}], {xx__, y_, z_} :> {xx, y - 100},
{1}]

etc.
