Tressoplast the cloth tape rolls in current production seem to me a bit shorter than the Tressostar or Tressorex of old. That written, even way back if one had 66 bend Cinelli bars and or 42 cm wide units, making one roll complete one side was a trick. We either, started farther away from the stem, or used three rolls, at the shop we would save the shorts from narrow bars and use them to extend the roll by using the leftovers at the brake levers.

The amount you overlap will also make a difference.
