the "erratic" behaviour of skipTypeSetting seems to be known (s.

there i also found a simple trick to correct the funny timing: insert a
harmless grace note before skipping typesetting!

to not spoil the original score i would suggest to define these skipping
commands in a special voice.
printing only measure 111 - 116 would then look so:

music = { … }

\new Staff <<
  \music
  \new Voice = "skipping" {
    \set Score.skipTypesetting = ##t
    s1*110
    \grace s8 \set Score.skipTypesetting = ##f
    s1*6
    \grace s8 \set Score.skipTypesetting = ##t
    s1*10
    …
  }
