Can't be done properly because the nozzle only reaches the first bend. In my experience if the crud is after the first bend then that's where it will stay.
Smaller vacs also struggle to pull grass clumps and roots up the pipe, the more powerful ones aren't so bad but it doesn't exactly fly out.

Drain rods...
Undo a lower section of guttering and rod the downpipe from that section.
