I agree with Tom, but would add that it's only reliable if you're sure of
the current end of the roll.

to give yourself slightly more than a square's worth.

Almost as how I would do it, except that I like to avoid the diagonal
fold from the bisection.
Instead I exploit that in the roll itself I have the perfect template:
Just place the cut-of piece perpendicularly using the roll end as a
guide, align the end of the paper with one edge of the roll, and fold
using the other edge as a guide.
If you have got two rolls, and the end is already ok, then just use the
other roll as a template for the cutting off squares of the first.
This method of using two pieces of paper perpendicular to each other, is
usually more accurate than folding the diagonal.
For large rolls I do it on the floor (which in our house luckily is flat
and smooth).
I do this often when cutting squares from A4. If I have to do many cuts,
I fold over the slip of the first piece, but instead of cutting it off
here and now, I use it as a template for the rest.
