15 amp plugs don't reduce the amps...they'll pass the current until they get hot and melt. I know from experience. (The plug you show is rated for 15amps...20amp plugs will have one blade perpendicular to the other.)
If you need 100', your best bet is a 100' cord w/30amp connectors. Your second best is 2x 50' cords with 30 amp connectors. It might be cheapest to buy a 100' 10/3 cable with 15 amp connectors and then cut those connectors off and replace them with 30 amp connectors. Your worst solution is to use any connector rated less than 30amp and / or a cord smaller than 10AWG.
