It's interesting that coastals and diamonds breed together in the wild, with no side issues like jags.

I wish I had a buzzer that was annoying and obnoxious so I can press it when people are dead wrong.
Anyway, jaguar is NOT when "two recognized subspecies are crossed." That is false data.
Jaguar is a morph that was found in the coastal carpet python lineage. People have crossed it to other subspecies of carpet python to enhance the looks in various ways.
No such thing as "side issue like jag". That makes zero sense when it comes to talking about genetics.

Irian jaya jags. Jungle jags and coastal jags. Normals? So that's 1/4. 1/4. 1/4.1/4
Lol my brain hurts its like knowing but not knowing.

So you need to have an idea of how mutations work in the first place to figure this stuff out. You won't get anything you just described. It's not like you can breed a jungle jaguar to a coastal and pop out a "normal" or an uncrossed jungle or coastal.
What happens here is first we look at the mutation involved. Jaguar. How is it inherited or passed on to the next generation? It's incomplete dominant so that means on AVERAGE 50% of the babies will be of the jaguar mutation.
Now on to the mixing of the subspecies.
A "Jungle jag" if it's pure as that (highly doubt it) then it's a 50/50 split between jungle/coastal blood.
So you've got a 50/50 split breeding with an Irian Jaya (100%)
That means all the babies will be
50%/25%/25% Irian Jaya, Jungle, Coastal
With half of them being simply mutts and the other half jaguar versions. (roughly. It's genetics. nothing is guaranteed to be exact)
