Yes.  And yes.

My friend, I've anticipated you.  Dungeons can be MAXINT deep,
(essentially infinite)
and the dungeon "level", or difficulty, is increased with each 
recursive map generated.

When the new map is generated, it accepts arguments as to where to place
you when you leave the map.  So connectivity back is assured.
If dungeon_level is less than dungeon_depth, it makes an exit down, too.
This exit down points to another random map, which will be generated
when the exit is used.

An exit can even be given a random_seed, so that the same random map
is generated every time in a given location.

But all this is documented:  get the package and read
docs/RandomMaps.doc
