The sentence is grammatical: the participial phrase "Stretching to the doors" correctly modifies "the lunch line." If you want alternatives for tone, clarity, or variety, here are some options:

- The lunch line stretched to the doors, testing everyone's patience.
- The lunch line snaked to the doors, fraying everyone's patience.
- Stretching all the way to the doors, the lunch line tried everyone's patience.
- Students waited in a lunch line that reached the doors, and everyone's patience wore thin.
- By the time the lunch line reached the doors, everyone's patience was running out.
- The line for lunch reached the doors, and it tested the patience of everyone there.

Small note: "tested everyone's patience" is fine, but "tried everyone's patience" is slightly more idiomatic in some contexts.
