No, not really. The only real way a airport could land any aircraft would be to have a 4 mile or longer runway. However, the problem for most aircraft is not as much landing as much as taking off, which could require a 30% longer runway.

What vehicle may cross the runway during a aircraft emergency on runway?

Depending on the airport and the regulations in place, any vehicle can cross the runway provided it is in radio communication with the tower and has had clearance to cross. The would also need to advise the tower when they had cleared or "vacated" the runway. In an emergency, the main vehicles given permission to cross or even enter the runway would be the "crash" trucks and the ATC supervisor. They would still need permission to enter the runway.

Why are airport runway numbers always in increments of 18?

The runway numbers are in magnetic direction. Runway 27 is 270 degrees magnetic (rounded off to the nearest 10 degrees). Runway 04 is 040 degrees magnetic. When you are making your approach, your runway of intended use (into the wind) will be your magnetic direction on your compass. When you see an L, C, or R after the number there would be two or more runways in the same direction on that airport. The letters stand for Left, Center, or Right depending on which runway you would be assigned to land on. As runways can be approached from either direction the difference between the two number will reflect the 180° difference, thus increments of 18.
