How to Amortize A Balloon Loan?

Say you take out a 5-year loan of $100,000 amortized at 10 years but with a 35% balloon payment ($35,000) required at the end of the term.

Do you calculate amortization payment (excel: PMT) excluding the balloon amount then plug in the balloon amount at the end of the period in the amortization table?

If say you are to refinance the balloon amount again at the end of the term for another 5 years, would you simply use the balloon amount as the new beginning balance of the amortization table? (assuming constant interest rate).

How would a 5-year loan on a 10-year schedule have only 35% required at the end of the term? By definition, shouldn't that be 50% (plus the last regularly scheduled payment)?
