Would adding (or merging)

\paper {
  ragged-last-bottom = ##f
}

produce a satisfactory layout over four pages for you?

If you squeeze a fourth system onto page 3, you're left with
two systems on page 4. To set the piece over three pages, you'd
need to shrink the score to 11 systems, which is rather a lot.

Cheers,
