If I understand what I'm seeing, the rope is just looped back and forth between the two belt ends, yes? Is there anything else involved? It occurs to me that you could make a backing out of a lightweight band of fabric, with some number of tie downs for the rope (I'm thinking figure eightish, except with more loops, tie downs for the individual strands of rope). The advantages here is that while the fabric itself would make a poor belt on it's own because it would not be rigid enough, the rope could lend it rigidity, and the fabric and tie downs could provide some organizing structure, arranging the rope as a flat band of strands rather than a thick roll.
And, if you were careful, you could then remove the rope from the belt without completely disassembling the belt, though as mentioned previously, the belt, sans rope, would be definately sub-par.
You have quite surpassed me in dorkiness, though I find myself wanting to start a conversation of the finer points of such things as fitting points of fitting out a fishing vest with a variety of useful tools and/or survival equipment...
