The State of Kansas has no power to force a person to serve consecutive sentences for Missouri convictions. But, in charging or sentencing for a Kansas crime, Kansas can treat Missouri concurrent sentences as separate convictions.
This is a very general description of the unterstate parameters, based upon very general description of a scenario. Any application to a spefic case or circumstance is improper. One should consult directly with a criminal defense attorney as to the specific facts if any such matter, before deciding what to do in that specific cade.
Good luck
