No, the e-visa is not extendable. You must leave before your authorized stay expires. If you need to stay longer, you'd have to exit and re-enter with a new e-visa.
If you're arriving from a country with risk of yellow fever transmission, you'll need a yellow fever vaccination certificate. Taiwan is not a yellow fever risk country, so you won't need it if you're flying directly from Taiwan. Check the latest requirements if you're transiting through other countries.
You won't be allowed to board your flight. The airline checks for the e-visa before you board. If you somehow arrive without one, you'll be refused entry and sent back on the next available flight.
The standard e-visa is single-entry. If you plan to leave and return to Saint Kitts and Nevis, you'll need to apply for a new e-visa each time.
