If you read the ly2dvi manual, you'll find the solution:
ly2dvi -s pagenumber=no file.ly

This is specified by the breakAlignOrder property.
The default setting can be found in ly/engraver.ly and
you can do, for example, 
      \property Score.breakAlignOrder=#'(
          Instrument_name
          Left_edge_item
          Span_bar
          Breathing_sign
          Key_item
          Staff_bar
          Clef_item
          Time_signature
          Custos
        )
to get the desired result.
