No. The purpose of two pass spacing is to have the same page breaks, but
with bigger systems, that is less space between systems.

Two-pass spacing works on several score books -- it was written for
that. By the way, are you sure you need to explicitely use \book?

Maybe you could send the ly file with the score definitions (that is,
the \score blocks, but without the notes), to see if you're using it the
right way.
