I've actually made curtains that normally go on a cornice on a rod. So much easier. https://www.exquisitelyunremarkable.com/2013/07/box-pleat-valance.html

Hello Sharon,
Besides buying longer timber, what is the problem? If you have to join timbers to get the length you require, cut them at an angle at 45 degrees. and but them together. HOPE THAT HELPS!
Try the search bar at the top left on Hometalk, there are a zillion ideas for this here.
Just like making any cornice board. Just adjust the measurements to fit your window. I made a cornice 108" long for my bay window
