A digraph blend is when two consonants are paired together to create a sound that blends them together. A couple of English examples are "ch" and "th."

A split digraph is when a vowel digraph is split by a consonant, such as the 'e' at the end of a word making the vowel say its name as in "time" or "hope." It occurs when an 'e' at the end of a word changes the short vowel sound to a long vowel sound.
Yes, "squadron" contains a digraph. The "qu" in squadron is a digraph because the letters work together to produce a single sound, rather than each letter making its own sound.

I'm not 100% sure and am happy to be corrected, but this is my understanding of it: Blends are combinations of consonants where you can still hear the two separate sounds, eg. br, cr, pl. This seems counterintuitive to me, as 'blend' implies that you mixing something together so that it is indistinguishable, but apparently that's what a blend is. Digraphs are where two letters are used to represent a single sound - sh, th, wh, ch.
