I think what you need here is an error flag. Do both tests, and if either fails, set the error falg to a true value, then do your print statments based on the value in the error flag. See Below:

my $error = 0;
my $message = '';
if($char_keywords > 950){
  $error++;
  $message = "You had $char_keywords chars. Max is 950";
}
if(&failrepeattest()){
  $error++;
  $message .= '<br />' if(length($message));
  $message .= 'Repeated keyowrd error message.';
}
if($error){
  print qq(<td><font color="red">Keywords: </font></td>);
  print qq(<td><font color="red">$message</font><br>);
}else{
  print qq(<td>Keywords: </td>);
}
