Basically what ever snacks they offer when bringing the drink cart through the aisles is what they offer as on request snacks.
Occasionally on really long haul (10 hour plus) flights, the airline may make available a mini-sandwich (bun with cheese and wilted lettuce) or something else more substantial than just pretzels and peanuts, as an on request snack.
There is no time table for this, it is available most anytime the cabin crew is not serving the passengers. Some airlines put snacks out for you to take as you please, others you have to ask the cabin crew.
Most every full service airline offers this on their flights, but they rarely announce it or publicize it. If you ask for a second drink or some more snacks they are happy to set you up, but they don’t want to serve the entire plane another round because they don’t have an unlimited supply.
Very depending on the Airline, as a rule of thumb I would say “A mini-package of anything” – gummy bears, pretzel, big variety of chocolates etc. I know no protocol/rule, but if they offer such snacks being polite and asking not for multiple items at once (e.g. 5 chocolate bars) always worked for me.
In fact sometimes I felt the staff is happy to do something and not waiting until their shift finishes and they can have some sleep.
Btw. same applies to drinks. E.g. Flying with Singapur Airlines is quite awesome. They offered 4 different c**ktails, beer, wine, water, softdrinks etc. etc.
