can you make extensions in blocks?

I don’t think that’s currently possible.

But Functions are a good blocks-compatible way of declaring reusable and composable chunks of logic. Especially now that they support return values.

Make the extension in the main program, test it, switch then to Javascript and copy the Functions for your extensions to the wanted place.
