I believe the longer blast for time-outs is suggested by Fed.

I have to do one edit, I have once used multiple whistles and I think that's the only time.

If a fight breaks out, use many high long whistles, (perhaps a second long, then a short pause, another second and so on)

This is for distracting the fighters and bla bla bla (I think you all know it).

That's the only exception I can think off

I only use multiple whistles when something really unusual happens... like partner giving the wrong team ball to inbound, ... or when elbows fly, heated situation, near fight, etc, and I hit it hard when I do use it to stop an altercation of some type. I also do use a longer whistle for a TO

Would just like to throw this out there as well. What about T's on a live ball? The first camp I went to I was taught to toot it a couple of times, let all the attention focus on you, and then give the T signal, the reason for this was so that you don't give the T so quickly that no one but a few people see it and no one knows what has happened. Just tossing it out there.

In my not always so humble opinion, I wouldn't do it. Give the T without being overzealous or overdramatic and go on with the game. Multiple whistles seem to draw too much attention to it for me.

One long loud whistle.. I've been in gyms that have 2 or 3 thousand fans. If you don't blow long and loud the players may not hear your whistle and continue play. Especially in rival games and close games. I've expereinced it when I first started refereeing..

Also by it being long and loud, it will differentiate from the screeching sounds that the sneakers make by the players.
