You should first determine what voltage is in that circuit.
It's quite possible that the voltage is much lower than 63v but they went with 47uF 63v because they used such value in another part of the circuit or because they wouldn't have gained anything by using a lower voltage rating one.
For example, they often make 47uF 35v, 50v and 63v in the same diameter - 5mm or 8mm - and the only difference may be a small difference in height ex 8x11 mm for 35/50v and 8x13mm for 63v - the designer could have left a 5mm diameter for this capacitor but 2-3mm of diameter is not much savings and leaving 8mm makes it possible to use 5mm or 8mm capacitors so they'd be able to use different series if one becomes unavailable.
Sometimes they use a thicker version (ex 8 mm instead of 5mm diameter) and taller one because it would be more resilient to temperature, the bigger metal can handle temperatures better and the capacitor will last for a longer time.
Unless the capacitor is used for some very specific purpose (timing for example), in a lot of cases it's possible to increase the capacitance a bit without any negative effects .. so you could probably use 56uF or 68uF without any worries.
So basically, going a bit higher in capacitance is fine, going lower is risky. Going a bit lower in voltage rating should be avoided unless you're sure of the maximum voltage that would be across the capacitor, but going up in voltage rating is fine - your limitations would be dimensions (diameter and height) and the technical specifications - a bigger size capacitor may have much better technical specs that could affect the stability of the circuit (depending how the capacitor is used)
Capacitors in parallel give you more capacitance, but same voltage rating. Capacitors in series gives you same capacitance, higher voltage rating (but with big voltage rating / capacitance capacitors you also need balancing resistors)
So with your 2 capacitors, in parallel you'd have 44uF 50v - 44uF is close enough to 47uF (all capacitors are +/- 20% so 44uF is well within +/- 20%) but 50v is below the 63v rating. IF you're lucky the capacitor never sees a voltage close to 50v in which case you can use the capacitors in parallel.
In series, you'd get 22uF and 100v rating - voltage wise it would be safe, but capacitance is too low.
