Ok, so I had a bit of a play with this, I figured, to get matching wall paper we could split it into blocks of 0.53m x 0.53m giving you just under 19 blocks per strip of wallpaper.
I mocked it up on autocad, overlaying the number of blocks you would need to cover each wall section and came up with 85, this doesn't take into account using left over strips to start a new wall so should really be worst case scenario.
Divide 85 by 19 = 4.5 rolls so 5 should definitely do you.

This is absurd and hilarious. Thank you :)

There's a fair bit of extra material though. So for example on wall 1 and 2 you could split the spare edge pieces (that don't cover any part of the wall) to between both walls, which saves 5 squares. However, it depends on whether or not they match up in the corners properly.
Wall 3 has a massive amount of spare material as well.

Interesting seeing it like that, I had imagined it was on a staircase so it wouldn't be rectangles.
First thing I thought is depending on the pattern you might want to centre it on the walls. It's often the case that walls will not be square at the edges so you might lose a bit at each edge.

Thanks @Bernhard @frankenbike and @Airhead
re. pattern I assume the pattern repeat is a vertical 53, yes. From the website:
Product type Wallpaper
Width 0.53 m
Length 10.05 m
Repeat 0.53 m
Composition Paste the wall
Wallpaper type Standard
@Airhead I kind of assumed finishing the job later would lead to bits that looked or dried differently and figured you'd get the best results all in one fell swoop? Also if I stopped mid way I think there's a 95-100% chance of me never starting again.
I'd anticipated 5 x rolls. Would that sound like it SHOULD be enough? Not worried about any pattern matching above and below the stairs (if that helps)? It's not that expensive as wallpaper goes and I can return any spares "without quibble" according to wallpaperdirect.com but I'm loathe to over-order by more than one roll.
Anyone want to do it for me? I'll give you about 8 pounds in coppers, a half finished packet of baby rusks and any leftover wallpaper. Sounds like a pretty sweet deal tbf...
