I've recently re-threaded a NL poleset - a blue tagged 7 section one. The elastic is generally a bit longer than six sections, and I'm sure it was threaded by machine when being manufactured all them years ago.
What I did was . . . .
cleared out the clips that the elastic was connected to on the two end sections (using a long bamboo pole that could fit easily),
Cut a length of elastic approx 6 sections long,
Found a bead in the man-toolbox that would fit in the wide end of an end section but was too big to fall out of the thinner, crimped, end - then knotted the elastic, passed it through the bead and then dropped the bead into one end section, and let the elastic pass through and out the other end. That deals with one end of the seven section set.
Pass the elastic through the next five sections. Should have enough to show out of the end of section 6. Then stretch the elastic so it's long enough to go through the final section, clamp the elastic where it leaves the end of section 6, and then thread the stretched elastic through a similar bead or one of the original wire clips you recovered. When you release the tension on the elastic it should pull the bead/clip/whatever back into the inside of section 7. If using one of the original clips you may need to take a pair of pliers to it to compress it to being thinner than the wide end of section 7.
Yeah . . . a faff, but it does work. Took me around 30 minutes. And just to rub salt in to the wound another elastic went on my recent tenting jolly - so I've got to do it all over again ! ! !
Good luck.
