Narrative:

At 200 ft on final for runway 18L at tpa, tower requested EMB110 landing on runway 27 'hold short of runway 18L (approximately 4500 ft runway). The emb responded, 'we will do our best.' at 100 ft we saw the emb, also at about 100 ft on short final. Rather than go around and risk an airborne collision should the emb also go around, we elected to land and use heavy braking to stop short of the runway 27 intersection (6800 ft). Charted required runway at our weight was 5000 ft. Lahso are a hazardous operation. We were never notified of this operation. The aircraft who was asked to lahs did not hear about it until short final. This sort of operation is inconsistent with the highest levels of safety.
