My 3cents: if your score has constant time signature and you know a total
number of measures, than it's quite easy to do what you need (and what's Phil
is talking about) -- you need to use separate voice for breaks and
  \repeat "unfold" K { s1*L \break }
in that voice, where K is a number of breaks you need, L is a factor for s1 to
be multiplied to fill one system.. like that.

  Be careful! These are some commonly used abbreviations:
   • LM -- Learning Manual
   • NR -- Notation Reference
   • IR -- Internal Reference

  Look at LilyPond’s documentation to find more.
