I would listen to @andos, you are better off cutting a small amount of of the edge tiles than trying to use a wall as a square edge. The method for cutting tiles at the edges of a floor is pretty simple. Lay the tile you want to cut directly over the top of the tile adjacent to the wall. Put the edge of a spare tile against the wall and on top of the tile to be cut, mark and cut. It's much easier than trying to measure them all.
Only thing I would do is make sure you're not starting at a point where you will need a 15mm sliver of cork tile all along one edge.
You've got a box cutter and metal ruler with a bunch of spare blades right? You might even have a green cutting mat?
Here's a video example of the technique with tiles, same story with cork but easier to cut.

Normally it's handling the glue without getting it all over your trousers/socks/shoes and tile faces that keeps you busy.
