What do you mean that the bar numbering will be off. A multimeasure
rest is counted as the corresponding number of measures, so the bar 
numbering will be exactly the same no matter if skipBars is
set or not.

One answer is provided in section "Hiding staves". Another answer
is provided in section "Different editions from one source", which 
shows how to get for example R1*5 in the instrumental parts and s1*5
in the full score, from the same LilyPond code.
