EVA air extended (1 week) layover?
Does EVA air allow for extended layover in Taipei? More specifically, I'm looking to book a vacation where we spend 1 week in Bali and 1 week in Taiwan, flying from Los Angeles. Thanks!

I thought a ticket with a layover would be priced the same as if it were a single flight (just that you board the second segment a few days later), whereas a multi-city ticket would be priced as if it were two separate flights. Or does it all get priced the same?

You want to look for a LAX-DPS-LAX fare that allows stopover in TPE. The rule would say if it is allowed and how much (+ the airport and departure taxes). The allowed length is usually the validity of the ticket minus the minimum stay required at your destination.

Use google maps and find a pair of dates when you want to travel to and from Bali, LAX-DPS, (Filter airline to Eva Air).
Once you find dates, then switch to multicity, keep the departure date (LAX-TPE-DPS) you found above, and return date you found above, but change return to TPE-DPS. Then, add another leg DPS-TPE somewhere in between these two dates, and see how much it prices. Keep changing the dates for DPS-TPE until you find a fare you are comfortable with.
then replicate this on EvaAir website, or use third parties such as Kayak/Expedia etc.

The word layover has no clearly defined meaning (despite the Bourdain series).
A connection is under 24 hours (sometimes extended to first available flight if later, regardless of whether seats are available on that flight) for international, usually under 4 hours (with the same possible extension) for domestic itineraries.
OP seems to want a STOPOVER. Some (usually not deep discount) fares permit this and some permit it for a fee (perhaps about $100)....or you can just book multicity (essentially three one way fares on the same ticket) or even do an open jaws ticket plus a separate OW ticket for DPS to TPE (or vv).
