Dan is right. The ringer impedance is at least in the 10s of ohms, and
the adapters should introduce a fraction of an ohm if the connections
are normal/ok.

I am in the UK. Would I get appreciable signal loss (e.g.
equivalent
to 0.5 of a REN or more) if I use several adaptors on my landline
phone?

By "adaptor" I mean the sort of 2 (or 3) into one adaptor.

I might I have this sort of wiring config (depending on exactly how
many adapters I decide to use):

phone wall socket
--plug---wire---plug--
adapter
--plug---wire---plug--
adapter
--plug---wire---plug--
adapter
--plug---wire---plug--
telephone

For most of the time the adaptors would not actually have any extra
devices attached.
