Hi,
You could define your own line breaks (namely after 5 measures).
See Notation Reference manual, section 4.3.1 Line breaking
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.13/Documentation/notation/line-breaking.html
You could also change the horizontal spacing using
base-shortest-duration
NR 4.5.3 Changing horizontal spacing
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.13/Documentation/notation/changing-horizontal-spacing.html
I think the second is the best suited in your case.
Cheers,
Xavier
