Seems like a lot of assumptions are being made here about his power level and the power necessary to create a small fixed dimensional space. You are also overlooking the key part in Qrow's quote stating "The hope was that hiding them would keep mankind from using them against itself... and, of course, keeping them out of her reach." That implies they were not being actively hidden until the schools were built. Of course, the schools were built around the relics as he would presumably want the relics in place before building the schools to keep the knowledge of their presence as limited as possible.

It also seems like a lot of assumptions are being made about the requirements such magic would require of him to encode doors with keys.

Keep in mind that the maidens powers are 4 parts of his original magic, which itself could be owed to the power of the relics themselves, it seems entirely feasible therefor that encoding the first door(or even all 4 at once with the co-operation of 3 others) he could have used the relics power to recognize the power of the maidens without requiring they be present in person.

It is also quite possible that before he sealed them away he always kept one on his person at all times and that this increased his power dramatically, which would itself mean that when he sealed them it drastically reduced his power.
