I've noticed several in-games months flip to the next month after reaching the 14th day of the month. Is it supposed to be like that?

Yes it is.
I thought it was 15 each month?
I'm pretty sure it even says it's 14 days on the adaptive tutor
Is there a place in the xml that lets you can change is it to around 30?
I think that's just so you can play a game in a reasonable length of time, all games do it same reason a day is only a few minutes. Besides the planet isn't earth so having a different length intervals isn't weird at all.
I don't think this can be changed through xml because the whole seasons system with snowfall and tempratures and growing seasons dependes on this so I think this would be a rather large change.
I don't like that you can't choose longer months and such. Seasons should be based on month, not an amount of days.

I was about to say that its not Earth....... but I'm currently living in Shanghai-China where seasons change by days or weeks, sometimes hours.
Happened on my first year here - its a +30c afternoon at the end of September. I'm wearing shorts and a t-shirt going for a few drinks with friends. A few hours later leaving the place its +5c and raining. This is common.

Welcome to London where grim overbearing clouds will threaten to flood the streets for a few minutes with an absurd downpour of rain, only for the sun to be out and shining in 20 minutes time as if it were sunny all day long.
this 'london' sounds like a slow version of 'melbourne' (they usually get at least FOUR seasons a DAY even in winter)
The 14 day thing is really for game balance. The year just cycles too slowly if you let the months be 30 days. The fact that it's not Earth provides another nice excuse for this.

I
sometimes feel as though my spring-summer-autumn-winter cycle isnt long enough.
So it would be nice to be able to change it.
For a challenge you could even go crazy and have 300 day months for that
long never ending hell winter effect.

In Seattle we have only one season that represents the flooding week in Houston or the early rainy dead and dreary fall days back in Toronto.

I'm from the Seattle area, and I've lived in Houston. Recordbreaking rainfalls in Seattle, in the 2 to 3 inch range over a 24 hour period, would scarcely register in Houston. I was living in the Houston area during Tropical Storm Allison back in 2001, in which 40 to 50 /inches of rain/ fell in a 24 hour period. Seattle may have more rainy days, but when it rains in Houston, it really doesn't mess around.
