I've done rose swags that would be about the same size as those. Just be sure to make your gum paste as thin as you can to help minimize the weight. The middle portion of the swag gets fairly thick as you tape the wires of more and more roses together. Once it's complete, you should be able to bend the whole swag to fit the contours of the cake and make it drape however you want it. You may have to experiment a little to get the right gauge of wire on your roses though.
