I want to fit a narrow runner to a eight tread staircase that turns 180
degrees top to bottom (in an old house, beside the chimney). Is there a
trick to how one deals with the "surplus" carpet which arises from
making a straight carpet runner go "round the bend" of the stairs?
Ideally, I would like to use stair rods either with or without
additional fixing. Any hints and tips would be very gratefully received.
Thanks in advance.

Well, if the winders are gradual, you can hide the extra carpet in a
fold that is on the riser.
But if too much to do this, I guess you have to cut some bits out.
Unless you cut some slots in the risers and post the excess through !
The excess has to go somewhere.
