We establish a general result about extending a right invertible row over a Banach algebra to an invertible matrix. This is applied to the computation of right topological stable rank of a split exact sequence. We also introduce a quantitative measure of stable rank. These results are applied to compute the right (left) topological stable rank for all nest algebras. This value is either 2 or infinity, and rtsr (𝒯(𝒩)) = 2 occurs only when 𝒩 is of ordinal type less than ω2 and the dimensions of the atoms grows sufficiently quickly. We introduce general results on ‘partial matrix algebras’ over a Banach algebra. This is used to obtain an inequality akin to Rieffel's formula for matrix algebras over a Banach algebra. This is used to give further insight into the nest case.
