Hi,
I do not know that kind of "hack".

But I would play with "Scaling durations" to make LilyPond think all the
staves have the measure that is finished when you want to place your bar line.
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.13/Documentation/notation/writing-rhythms.html#scaling-durations

BTW as a musician, I would not know how to play such scores where some
players have more notes (beats) to play than other in the same measure...
Are we supposed to wait the last one that has the higher overflow?
Are you sure it is not an error?

Cheers,
Xavier
