What should worshippers do when the Imam sits for the first Tashahhud in the third Rak'ah after they have said "SubhanAllah"? And does the latecomer (masbuq) count the extra Rak'ah that the Imam added after rising from the last Tashahhud, or is he required to complete two Rak'ahs?

The congregants must wait for their Imam standing if they know that his sitting is supererogatory, because an addition to the prayer, if done knowingly, invalidates it.
