The example is not really complete. You should start from the current
default setting and just move the objects that you want to move.
According to the documentation, the default is
(instrument-name
 left-edge
 ambitus
 span-bar
 breathing-sign
 clef
 key-signature
 staff-bar
 time-signature
 custos)

If you want to move the key signature after the bar line, you should
use (untested):
(instrument-name
 left-edge
 ambitus
 span-bar
 breathing-sign
 clef
 staff-bar
 key-signature
 time-signature
 custos)

The documentation should be updated.

Certainly, read the "Fine tuning a piece" section in the Tutorial and
the "Tuning output" section in the Reference Manual.
For your example, something like
\property Score.MultiMeasureRest \override #'expand-limit = #9
should work.

Indeed!
