It depends, in the TBA-
usually it's a series of set combinations called out by the pad holder, like the TBA counts, or x # of a particulat technique. It's the same as it would be for just boxing (i.e. tripple jab, bob and wave, corner, double hook, etc), instead something like the pad holder will jab, then you knee, upper right elbow, left horizontal elbow, grab feeder's cross and knee, hook, cross, hook, right kick, left kick.
At another gym I trained in- four would be four swift straight punches, followed by kicks...the feeder would kick low, shield or step back, then follow up with kicks. At the end of the round, finish up with lots o' knees. (TBA guys will finish the round's with like 30 or so seconds of skip or curve knees too.)
