Personally I'd go for shorter lengths, nearer the originals.

I'm not sure but think maybe the extra 25cm length would perhaps give more flex than the originals, maybe causing stability issues? .

How about this set 4 poles
its just abit short of what you need, so another pack of 5 vango 12.7mm poles should be enough to complete the lengths . Possibly an extra pack of elastic might be needed to add the extra lengths on as well , but still under the £70.
Just a thought, have you contacted gelert to see if they can supply a full set of horizon poles ?

Before investing £70 I would give the tent as thorough a checkover as i could (given it cant be pitched) to see if there is further damage.

Much more damage might make it an uneconomic repair and that £70 could go toward another tent.

Just my opinion, and very sorry to hear of your nightmare night of camping.
