If you are doing this you are effectively limiting your main panel to 100 A with normal duty cycles. This can get complicated and an electrician is advised. But basically you have a 100A breaker that would typically be for 220-240 volt service and you would connect to the main of the second panel. The size of the wire between the two panels would have to be sized correctly and you would only bond ground and neutral at the main panel and not the branch panel. You might want to move some of the loads from the main panel to the branch depending on load calculations. If you know what you are doing and have access to a clamp on amp meter you could measure how much of the 200 Amps you are using at the current panel. This can be dangerous, so get an electrician or be careful.

In the trade this is called a sub panel. It is a complicated job in as much as you have to know wire sizes, ampacity of wires and proper electrical workmanship. Such a project should be left to a licensed electrical contractor to take out the proper permits and call for proper inspections. By taking this route it will leave you confident that if any mishaps happen to the installation down the road your insurance company will be behind you 100%.
