What does the doc tell you?

OK. So it is in fact a markup. You can do whatever you want with it:

systemSeparatorMarkup = \markup {
                                \bold \huge "Ole" \normal "was here" }

OK. By default, you won't have any.

The \slashSeparator is a shortcut to insert a nice (but tiny) slash. OK.

Let's see how it is made. The source file is in the /ly directory, and
we can see in titling-init.ly that the \slashseparator command is
actually defined as follows :
slashSeparator = \markup {
  \hcenter
  \vcenter \combine
  \beam #2.0 #0.5 #0.48
  \raise #0.7 \beam #2.0 #0.5 #0.48
}

You can play with these numbers the way you want.

Cheers,
