Is there anything - apart from common sense - to stop an Alchemist from using the Twin Form formula to:
- Drink Twin Form extract.
- Use up as many charges of their magical gear as time permits.
- Switch to the other twin and have everything back before the first twin expires?

Is there anything - apart from common sense - to stop an Alchemist from using the Twin Form formula to:Sure, you have to be a 16th level Alchemist for this to work, but it still seems rather abusable.
- Drink Twin Form extract.
- Use up as many charges of their magical gear as time permits.
- Switch to the other twin and have everything back before the first twin expires?
If I understand your question correctly, I would think that this line from the bottom of the second paragraph in Twin Form would stop that:
Both you and your twin have the same statistics and start with the number of hit points you had when you ingested the extract. Once you have split, these hit points are tracked separately. Any spells, extracts, or magical effects (such as from potions) that were active when you ingested the extract are active for both you and your twin. If any such effects expire, are dispelled, dismissed, or otherwise used or ended, they end for both of you. Extracts or spells cast after you split affect you and your twin as though you were two separate targets. Your equipment is linked between your two selves, and if an item on one is consumed or destroyed, its duplicate is used up or destroyed as well.
So, if you had a wand with 50 charges before you split, you would not have 2 wands with 50 each, but 2 wands with 50 shared.
D'oh! That'll teach me to actually read all the way down next time...
