I need to route a downpipe round a corner, as the downpipe is on one side of the property and the rainwater gully is round the corner for some reason. I've attached a diagram to demonstrate, with the gutter outlet in blue and the gully in green.

The rest of the house is done in squareline gutter so I'd like to do the same if possible, however I can't think of a particularly neat way of doing this without using what feels like an excessive number of 112.5 degree bends.

What's the neatest way of achieving this?

You are limited with square! with round you can have every degree possible.

Yeah, I realise that :( it might be neater just to convert it to round immediately below the outlet and run the rest in round. It won't match the rest of the house but I can probably do a much neater job of all the joints.
 
Would 3 x 92° bends to get me round the corner from the outlet and into the top of a vertical run, severely impact the flow, or would it be fine?

I would have thought it would be ok. Water tends to stick to the sides of pipes as it falls - you'd need the heck of a downpour to fill it. It depends on how big a roof one pipe serves
 
Is there a barge board overhang on the gable, can you move the outlet further across so it’s beyond the end of the wall and fix it to the adjacent wall with a normal Swan neck pair of
Offsets?
 
It can be done with standard square offsets.

Is there room lower down to take it round the corner? Easier to clear any blockages...
