Don't you think that you could introduce global values within a layout 
block which fit
for the whole document?

Something like

\layout {
  \context {
    \Voice
    \override Glissando #'minimum-length =#<best value for staves>
    \override Glissando #'springs-and-rods = #ly:spanner::set-spacing-rods
  }
  \context {
    \TabVoice
    \override Glissando #'minimum-length = #<best value for tab staves>
    \override Glissando #'springs-and-rods = #ly:spanner::set-spacing-rods
  }
}
