3 squares down and a length you are happy with
I left about 3 or 4 squares of space either side of your canvas

floodfill with your gradient of choice


go to - selections- selections none

then draw out another selection 2 squares in height and same length as before

keep drawing out rectangles  and floodfilling with your gradient,
varying the height untill you have 6 in total
leaving space between each one

if you are having trouble with getting the same lengths,
you could do each rectangle on a new raster layer,
just remember to go to Layers - merge visable once you have all 6 done

(remember to end on - selections- selections none this removes any marching ants)

then go to selections - selections all -  selections float - expand by 2
  
add a new raster layer then floodfill all rectangles with white

then go to selections - contract by 3
and hit the delete key on keyboard to remove the excess

selections none

go to adjust add/remove noise - add noise
using these settings
