An array of $N$ closely spaced dipole coupled quantum emitters exhibits super- and subradiance with characteristic tailorable spatial radiation patterns. Optimizing their geometry and distance with respect to the spatial profile of a near resonant optical cavity mode allows to increase the ratio between light scattering into the cavity mode and free space by several orders of magnitude. This leads to a distinct nonlinear particle number scaling of the relative strength of coherent light-matter interactions versus decay. In particular, for subradiant states the collective cooperativity increases much faster than the typical linear $propto N$ scaling of independent emitters. This extraordinary collective enhancement is manifested both in the intensity and phase profile of the sharp collective emitter antiresonances detectable at the cavity output port via transmission spectroscopy.
