Aha. The solution is to \remove Separating_line_group_engraver in the
Staff context.

%%% BEGIN %%%

\version "2.11.18"

\paper { indent = #0 }

\new Score \with {
 proportionalNotationDuration = #(ly:make-moment 1 32)
} {
 \new RhythmicStaff \with {
     \remove Time_signature_engraver
     \remove Separating_line_group_engraver
 } {
    \repeat unfold 4 {
       c'16 c'16 c'16 c'16
       c'16 c'16 c'16 c'16
       c'16 c'16 c'16 c'16
       c'16 c'16 c'16 c'16  \break
    }
 }
}

%%% END %%%
