For details on how to cite technical reports and gray literature look under section 10.4 in the APA Publication Manual (7th Edition), starting on page 329.
Basic reference list format for a print report
Author Last Name, First Initial. (Year). Title of Report (Report No. #). Publisher Name.
Basic reference list format for an online report
Author Last Name, First Initial. (Year). Title (Report No. #). DOI or URL
Notes:
- If there is a name of a person listed as an author, list them as the author for your in-text and reference list citations. When there is not author listed use the organization name as a corporate author.
- If the organization that published the report issued a number be sure to include that in parentheses right after the title.
- Technical and research reports might not be peer-reviewed. If you require peer-reviewed sources use reports with caution.

For example: Ramirez, Z. A., Jones, B. C., & Smith, D. C.
If no people are listed as authors use the organization as author.
Like this (the formatting in this example is off):
Lein, E. S., Hawrylycz, M. J., Ao, N., Ayres, M., Bensinger, A.,
Bernard, A., . . . Jones, A. R. (2007). Genome-wide
atlas of gene expression in the adult mouse brain. Nature, 445
(7124), 168-176. doi:10.1038/nature05453
Note: The first six authors are listed; all subsequent authors except the last are omitted and replaced with an ellipsis; then list name of the last author.
In-text example: (Lein et al., 2007)
As for an example using two organizing parties in addition to the 100+ authors, I'm not sure I understand.
