Does the curtain rod need to show? If not, you could use PVC pipe with a connector if necessary to make it long enough. You will most likely need an extra bracket in the center or even 2 extras to hold it up so it won't bend with the weight of the curtains. Hopefully the curtains are in panels and you can space them around the brackets. Another option might be a pipe with connections. That might rest on the end brackets without bending But again it will depend on the weight of the curtain itself. Hope that helps. Wishing you the best & Happy Holidays.
you will need to have a support bracket at least every 45-48 inches, depending on the type of material your rod is made from... most curtain or drapery rods are a thin walled tubing... which will bend under weight... black galvanized pipe has a thicker wall and does not bend a easily, so the distance between support brackets becomes 6 feet or so.
If your curtains or draperies are very heavy... use more support brackets... nothing looks worse than sagging drapes.
At home improvement stores;they have separate brackets, get one for spacing 3or4 feet . bracket package come with screws. You may want to get plastic anchors for screws. Have drill and right bit handy..just to get an idea about 20 dollars or less plus the ??rod.
I've gone to the local metal working shop and brought 1" aluminum pipe, or you can also use rigid pvc pipe from the plumbing section of your local Home Depot or True Value. Then I buy the cafe curtain brackets to hold up, and for that length I would get a couple extra for the middle. Be sure to use those little plastic anchors for your drywall so the brackets don't pull out. Then buy rings slightly larger, I've used shower curtain rings; or buy tab top curtains.

I used a long piece of PVC piping and curtain brackets. Mine was 12 feet long.
