Now I have wondered what people do when the body weight exercises are too easy; do I just keep adding more reps, forever? Or are there ways to make the jackknives harder, like push up variations, but for the jackknife?

Aha! I just watched that YouTube video linked to above, and he says to do it one-legged after you master the two. I'll have to try that; anyone done it? Am I going to go flying?
I tried the one-legged ones last weekend since I was finding the jackknives too easy and immediately rolled off to one side. Way harder than it looks.
