I have read all of the instructions for Form 7203, but cannot find anything that explains what I am supposed to fill in the "stock block" section at the beginning of Form 7203.

If you acquired your S-Corporation shares at different times or at different prices, you will have more than on stock block. Identify each separate block of stock.

Stock block. When a shareholder has a different basis in different blocks of stock, pass-through items are generally allocated pro rata to all shares, regardless of their different bases. If there is a partial stock sale or partial redemption, you may file more than one form and provide a description of what period the form covers. See Regulations section 1.1367-1(b)(2) and (c)(3) for details.

So what do you put in there if you only 100 shares, since day 1?

You will enter "1" for the stock block if you have only purchased 1 block of stocks. A stock block refers to the group of stocks you purchase each time. For instance, if you purchase 100 shares on day 1 then purchase 100 more on day 200, you have 2 stock blocks.
