If "without intervening change" means at different locations, you 
probably can just make a hidden change in between:

  \tempo 4 = 200
  ...
  \set Score.tempoHideNote = ##t
  \tempo 4 = 199
  \unset Score.tempoHideNote  % or \set Score.tempoHideNote = ##f, both 
should work
  ...
  \tempo 4 = 200

and everything should be printed fine. Spare it out for MIDI, of course.

If "without intervening change" means at the same location, well, then 
you're in trouble. You can't have two MetronomeMarks at the same point 
in time, but you probably don't want this, too.
If you really want something like this, you're better off using a custom 
markup.
