The max stay for tourist visa is 30 days and its granted instantly when you arrive you will buy a tourist card for $10 then about 1 minute later (10 steps) another person will take the card from you.
Over 30 days the penalty is not even enough to worry about it.
And the fee to extend you visa is almost the same as the penalty so really no benefit, plus you will have to go to santo dominigo to extend which nobody does.
Just pay it when you exit the country.
All fees are in pesos I converted to USD using current 1 dollar to 38 pesos exchange rate.

De 30 dias a 3 meses (months) 800.00 - $21

De 2 años a 5 años 14,000.00 - $368
De 5 años en adelante 17,000.00 - $447
As you can see the fines are really nothing, and takes about 3 min to pay the fine when you go through customs to exit the country. Very very easy.
