According to
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.14/Documentation/internals/pianostaff, the only
difference between a GrandStaff and a PianoStaff is that in a PianoStaff the
staves are only hidden together. So what you want is to use a GrandStaff.

\version "2.14.2"
\language "english"

foo = \relative c' {
  c4 d e f |
  g f e d |
  \break
  c e g b |
  d2 c |
}

baz = \relative c {
  \clef bass
  R1*2 |
  c2 e4 g |
  b2 c2 |
}

\score {
  \new GrandStaff <<
    \new Staff \foo
    \new Staff \with {
      \remove "Axis_group_engraver"
      \consists "Hara_kiri_engraver"
      \override Beam #'auto-knee-gap = #'()
      \override VerticalAxisGroup #'remove-empty = ##t
      \override VerticalAxisGroup #'remove-first = ##t
    } \baz
  >>
  \layout {}
}
