Ah, I had a feeling it wouldn't be what you're after. :)

So two sets of double percent repeats?

The only way I can think of doing this is to override the barline
stencil and use skips for the repeated bars:

doubleRepeatBar = {
  \once \override Staff.BarLine #'stencil =
    #(lambda (grob)
       ;ensure repeat slash isn't too thick
       (ly:grob-set-property! grob 'thickness 0.48)
        ;combine a barline with a double percent repeat
        (ly:stencil-add
          (ly:bar-line::print grob)
          (ly:percent-repeat-item-interface::double-percent grob)))
}

\drummode {
  sn4 sn4 sn4 sn4
  sn8 sn8 sn8 sn8 sn4 sn4
  sn4 sn8 sn8 sn4 sn8 sn8
  sn8 sn8 r8 sn8 sn4 sn4
  \repeat unfold 2 {
    s1
    \doubleRepeatBar
    s1
  }
  \bar "|."
}
