Loft is 4.2m x 8m

Insulation roll size (100mm deep rolls)

Width 1140mm
length 7.28m
Area per roll 8.3 m2

    Bear in mind you could be !!!!ing about with unsuitable off cuts.

    Nah, seven 1140mm "widths" on the 8m loft dimension, each run would have either zero or one place where the a length ended and another began. Four rolls should work just about perfect.

    All

    The insulation arrive and its not in rolls, looks like rolls when packaged but are actually 'block' shaped, Im guessing to go in wall cavities? Im assuming they're still OK for the loft?

    I guess That would be slabs - without opening them - what size does it say on the packing, and what's it called?
