27" rims are only around 1% larger in diameter than 700c, which for those stretchy rubber strips is practically no difference at all. A "rubber band"-style rim strip that's labelled for 700c works pretty much the same on a 27" wheel.

Absolutely do not buy cotton cloth tape like Velox unless you get it narrow enough to fit within the center channel. You can force too-wide cotton cloth to work in a pinch, but it's not ideal, prone to slippage and developing roughness.
