That's exactly the question I tried to answer below, just replace \partI by
\fluteOne and \partII by \fluteTwo, i.e.
\new Staff <<
 {\override MultiMeasureRest #'staff-position =#+7 \fluteOne } \\
 {\override MultiMeasureRest #'staff-position =#-7 \fluteTwo }
>>

(By the way, the default settings for this property in the upper and 
lower voices
is +4 and -4).

Yes, that's another issue. Preferably, the collision detection 
algorithms in LilyPond
should handle this problem automatically, as it attempts to do for 
normal rests,
however as far as I know there's no collision detection implemented for 
full measure
rests yet. One possible solution is to use the \tag command, see 
"Different editions
from the same source" in the manual.
