You're measuring the blueprint's rest length. The default rope blueprint has 100 pooled particles. That's a blueprint rest length of roughly 2/5*100 = 40 meters, so the reported value is correct.
If you want to get the runtime rest length, use rope.restLength as I did in the snippet above. That will give you the rest length of the currently active particles (that might change if you use a cursor to resize the rope, as this activates/deactivates particles from the pool).
Kudos for the reference
. But sadly we'll have to wait for Deep Thought to be built, these ropes aren't quite there yet.
