With this approach pageBreak isn't an issue anymore.

Though some nitpicks:
In my printed edition (Schott) and in the png you posted initially
a) every new line has a TimeSignature _followed_ by the starting repeat-sign,
b) the BarLines are aligned.

a) is doable by inserting a new TimeSignature for every new exercise,
tweaking 'break-visibility and BreakAlignment 'break-align-orders.
b) is problematic. You can play around with the different properties
of SpacingSpanner, but I'm not sure you'll succeed.

Good luck,
  Harm
