This lightsaber is unable to contain the crystal's unstable power so Kylo has to divert it through the mini blades on the sides. A cracked kyber crystal huh? Well, don't kyber crystals cause a huge explosion kinda like an atomic explosion when they are destroyed? I wonder if that may have something to do with it? The unstablitity is caused by the kyber crystal, which may be somewhat malfunctioning because of this reason. Yeah, the bigger the kyber crystals, the bigger the explosion. A small one like the one used in a lightsaber might be the size of a grenade going off, but there was that massive one in Rebels that was like a nuke going off.
