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.

Agreed, I think however this would show the worst case scenario and without seeing the space to be papered it's hard to be more accurate. I'm not really an experienced paperer but think that 5 rolls will be more than enough, if lucky, may get that down to 4 rolls but wouldn't risk it.
-I would paint it ;P

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.
