I actually don't like the structure since its geared entirely to finding 3N despite a 5-4 fit. More or less 2N shows HHxx in trumps and some number of suits stopped and other bids show that suit stopped but only Hxxx in trumps. I don't remember the exact details since I never play that part of the structure.

There are two versions of keri superaccepts:

#1 (book version)
2NT = HHxx in transfer suit
new suit = Hxxx in transfer suit, quick tricks in side suit shown
3 transfer suit = 5 cards in transfer suit

#2 (revised version)
2NT = Hxxx in transfer suit, flattish shape
new suit = HHxx in transfer suit, asks for stopper in side suit
3 transfer suit = 4 cards, 4432 shape with weakish doubleton (Jx or worse)

(Wrote this out of my head. Would have to check if it's 100% correct.)

I prefer structure #2, and would even add this:
jump in new suit = splinter, 4441 shape (for folks that open 1NT on singletons)
