Will a bomb be built which exceeds the 100 Megaton design yield of Tsar Bomba?

It does not need to be tested.

Note that the Tsar Bomba test yielded only ~50-58 megatons, half as much as designed, because to reduce fallout they did not include the U238 tamper that would have been fissioned by the fast fast neutrons from D-T fusion. We're going by the 100 megaton design yield instead.

MIRV made Tsar Bomba obsolete. MIRV destroys a larger area with less fallout and less vulnerability to ABM defenses. And unless our understanding of physics is terrible, it's very unlikely that any better bomb paradigm than fission-fusion-fission will be discovered in that time frame.
