You can 
\paper { 
 system-system-spacing #'basic-distance = 8 % default was 12
 page-count = #1

The first line because the way you use the rhythmic staff as the first staff 
you don't want that much distance to the system above.

The second line because Lilypond still doesn't break pages properly, so just
help her.
