OK. As a matter of writing style, one-digit numbers should be written as words.

This is a bit wordy. It would be simpler as: Rip two pieces off the toilet roll.

Could I ask a toilet related question?
Can you tell me if 'of different sizes'
There were 3 rolls of toilet paper of different sizes (some had been used more than others) on the back tank of toilet.

Thank you

Sorry,
I wanted to know what the natural way to say this is; if "of different sizes" is the the thing to say in the example and if the sentence is correct as a whole.

thank you

Fine, except say . . . the back tank of the toilet.

But we more often just say . . . the toilet tank.
