In case of Poisson, you use one uniform random number and the inverse Poisson CDF (poissinv) to simulate the total number of jumps until the maturity, then you use so many uniform random numbers as many jumps you have in total in order to simulate the jump arrival times that are uniformly distributed between today and the maturity.
