Put the timing information with skips in a separate definition.  Combine it 
with 
the top voice in the score and with each part when doing the parts.

timing = {
  \time = 4/4 s1*32   \cadenzaOn s4*7   \cadenzaOff
  \time = 3/4 s2.*32 
}

parta = { a4 ...   \cadenzaOn a4 b4 a4 b4 a4 b4 a4 \cadenzaOff a4 ... }
partb = { b4 ... }

Score:
\score{ 
 <<
  \new Staff << \timing \parta >>
  \new Staff << \partb >>
 >>
}

Part A:
\score{ 
 <<
  \new Staff << \timing \parta >>
 >>
}

Part B:
\score{ 
 <<
  \new Staff << \timing \partb >>
 >>
}

I may have every detail correct but that's the idea.
