You'll have to write this yourself, as it's a really specific use case.

If you need the ropes to actually touch each other, you can use the solver's OnParticleCollision event. Then, filter contacts between the ropes. See:

If the ropes do not actually have to be touching, but merely above or below each other, you can use the particle API to determine this using particle positions:
