Perhaps a misunderstand: I suggest a much simpler solution, namely to
have equal vertical space between all staves so that lilypond's
vertical space computation can stay unchanged:

  \hbox{staff 1, system 1}
  \interstaffskip
  \hbox{staff 2, system 1}
  ...
  \interstaffskip
  \hbox{staff n, system 1}

  \interscoreline

  \hbox{staff 1, system 2}
  \interstaffskip
  \hbox{staff 2, system 2}
  ...
  \interstaffskip
  \hbox{staff n, system 2}

  ...

At least for now this should be sufficient.
