Looks like pre cut drops.
1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3
Most papers are alternative pattern so 1 2 1 2 1 2 ect
Because the one you want is pre cut lengths you need to be careful cutting any off as won't be long enough to cover wall. Maybe.
You just lay out on a floor matching pattern and mark ready to cut across..

Made my head hurt so I printed it off and cut it to match. I get about 1.24m of matching drop.
I really needed the full 1.6m which would go down to just above the top of the bench (it will be paneled below). The 1.24 stops midway between the light switch and the bench so I don't know whether it will look too odd.
It's £130 a roll, hence trying to stretch it.

Pattern repeat would probably be made to suit 2.4m walls hence you get 1.24 by cutting in half so unlikely to be possible .
they do normally say use 2 rolls & cut alternate lengths but I can understand wanting to limit costs, what about a lower plain colored panel with a Dado rail (or mini roll) using the green backdrop as colour ?
That is a big pattern repeat. Bizarrely, they say on their site that it is a no repeat pattern.
Another alternative would be on demand printing. They tend to be the whole wall (you give them the dimensions and image).
I have only hung that stuff once.
It was paste the wall paper. The wall was about 4m. In your scenario, you are looking at two drops per roll (traditionally you would expect 3 drops per roll).
The customer sourced the paper , there was only about 3" play at either end though. From memory the paper was about £400/500 for the wall. Not far off your prices though.
