Having done it this way once, and going nuts at the brakelevers myself. I was thinking of starting at the lever and working out to the ends. The compound bend a the tops is the hardest to stay on Axis, depending on how you choose "axis" at this point. I still felt like I had been sucked into an Escher print making my way around the turn from the top.
Another trick I have read in the past, hold the brake handle clamp in place with a piece of strapping or other tape, remove the lever, wrap the whole bar, and bolt the lever back on. The works for any wrap that you want to look really tight under the levers. Also, makes more sense on Non-Aero levers.
