Can you measure the length from the tent then buy sufficient total length from a camping shop. They can sell lengths of pole and fittings. You can cut poles to length and attach fittings and elastic to suit. It's not difficult.

We bought some spare poles years ago from Millets (15% off if National Trust members). We got rid of these when we sold our tent and went to metal poles.

These poles can all be cut down to size, but you need your own saw. You can also buy spare elastic to restring the poles, which is a nasty job but satisfying once completed.
