There is no such thing as a "long blast", it is called a "prolonged" blast lasting between 4-6 seconds.
-If you agree with the arrangement you would sound the same signal, then take the necessary steps to effect a safe passing. If there is any doubt though the danger signal of five short needs to be sounded.

A.) One Short blast means "I am altering my course to Starboard."
