Do boundaries go up by 1-3 marks max or do they just jump up depending on how well people did? So theoretically, can boundaries jump up by 10 marks?

I don't think so if you look at past grade boundaries they only go up/down by a couple of marks but I think it ultimately depends on how well students do in the exam.

OP, depends on the cohort's ability and difficult of the paper.

A lot will depend on how people performed in their exams on the day.
Without the countrywide data that exam boards have access too, it's impossible to make any predictions.
You can look at grade boundaries for English and maths (AQA) here.

In English language, there was a small change up, in English lit, grade boundaries actually went down, and in maths (especially the higher paper) there were some big jumps (over 10 marks) - this may be partly due to candidates being entered for more appropriate papers.
Based on this, it's basically impossible to predict what will happen.
