Summary Question: How much space must there be between the two levels to constitute ‘a sukkah under a sukkah’? Rav Huna: 1 tefach — as we find with regard to ohel. Beraisa: A cubic tefach creates an ohel and brings tumah [to anything under the same ‘roof’ (which is one tefach high)] and stops tumah anything over the ‘roof’ does not become tamei]. Less than a tefach cannot bring tumah or stop tumah. Rav Chisda and Rabbah bar Rav Huna: 4 tefachim which is always considered a “significant space”. Shmuel: 10 tefachim which is the size necessary to create a kosher sukkah. Challenge: Mishna (7.3): Rabbi Yehuda: If there are no inhabitants on the upper level the bottom level is kosher. It means if the upper level is not designed to fit inhabitants - which means its schach is below 10 tefachim. So it seems that the Chachomim of the mishna render the bottom level possul even if the upper level is less than 10 tefachim away from the lower level?!
