Hmm. So, rather than having to wait for the spell to wear off, any enemy that finds your rope just has to have a little knowledge arcana and a match? That seems to make the spell fairly worthless. It's also a problem, if you are trying to use the spell for something sensible like escaping a room that's temporarily filling with acid.

Didn't earlier editions of the game allow you to pull the rope up into the extra dimensional space? Or am I hallucinating that?

Apparently yes, but the Pathfinder designers thought that was too powerful for a second level spell, because then you could stay perfectly hidden for hours a day. I feel like the cleaner nerf would have been to lower the duration to 10 minutes per level, instead of make the weird rope rule though. And then maybe make a 3rd or 4th level greater version that lasts hours and can still have the rope pull up.
Making a greater version of the spell is actually a pretty good idea.
I don't think you can have an extradimensional space inside another extradimensional space.What happens if you take a bag of holding/handy haversack/etc into a rope trick?
I don’t think there’s any general rule about extradimensional spaces. You just can’t mix bags of holding and portable holes.
Ok. So you can cast the second rope trick while inside another, but you couldn’t enter it while within the first.
Hmm. What happens if you put someone’s rope trick in a bag of holding? Are people trapped in the rope trick or do they get expelled into the bag of holding when the spell ends?

Clever thought, but could you explain just how you are doing it? I can sort of see putting the rope into the bag, climbing or levitating up the rope from the bottom, (no way you should be able to do it from the top, because the top of the rope goes into the E/D Space.), going from the bottom should actually put your bag inside the Rope Trick, not vice versa. Still weirdness with this.
EDIT
Oh, I should point out that the top of the rope trick is an extradimensional space, so It isn't there to be put in your bag.
It would be a lot easier to just buy decoy rope, if that were your plan. (Getting them all to seemingly dangle from fake magical hidey-holes is the hard part.)
Found a one-shot magic item: Fugitive's Grenade.
These small grenades are made from hollowed eggshells filled with assorted powders and reagents and inscribed with magical glyphs. When broken, a fugitive’s grenade creates a 10-foot-radius cloud that lasts for 2 rounds. This cloud is otherwise identical to a fog cloud. A single smoke tendril in the center of the cloud forms a solid-feeling rope, 20 feet long, that functions as a rope trick spell. When the smoke cloud dissipates, so does the smoke rope, though the rope trick’s extradimensional space remains for its full duration. Once the smoke rope disperses, any creatures inside the extradimensional space must jump or climb out by other means. A fugitive’s grenade may be thrown as a ranged touch attack with a range increment of 10 feet.
At 750gp, it is a bit pricey, but that is up to you to determine if it is worth it.
