What does "tape bomb" mean? Twisted together then wrapped in insulating tape, perhaps? Google didn't help, unless you're talking about incendiary devices, which you're clearly not (but I learnt something new today - just hope I don't get a knock on the door!). Obviously Trevor is familiar with the term, but if I'm not, I'm sure I won't be the only one 
These days I'd use Wagos or equivalent to extend the wiring in the back box. I bought a cheap selection box years ago so I could figure out which ones I liked best before buying in larger packs.
We have a similar scenario here with our cooker outlet. Luckily it's not needed as our cooker is gas, but I'm presuming the back-box for the absent cooker control unit is behind the plasterboard. Eventually we'll gut the kitchen - including the badly done dry-lining - and I'm sure it'll all become clear at that point.
