   I got a single-section ladder 3.44m length.   
   It proves to be perfect.   
   At a lean of about 1:4 it "just right" rests against the horizontal roof beams.   
   I can swing from leaning one way to leaning the other way to do both   
   ends of the outbuilding, without leaving the outbuilding.  The ladder is   
   long enough for the job, but when upright doesn't reach the roof in all   
   the midwidth.   
   Which means the ladder will store flat against the back wall.   
   Being single-section, it intrudes very little off the wall into the   
   workspace.   
   Happy :-)   
      
   Did I "over-egg" this?  Well I got it spot-on right first time, which as   
   a probability seems randomly improbable.   
   It's so nice scooting up to the roof space easily and securely on a wide   
   robust ladder.
