I tested to insert

myLayout = \layout {
                \context {
                        \Score
                        \override NonMusicalPaperColumn
                                #'page-break-permission = ##f
                
                }
}

in every score.
and then:

mus = \relative c'' { \repeat unfold 16 { \repeat unfold 8 { c8 } } \bar "|." }

\book {
\score {
          \new Staff \mus
          \layout { \myLayout }
  }
\score {
          \new Staff \mus
          \layout { \myLayout }
  }
% ...
% ...
% ...
}

I thought it would be limited to the current score, but it affects the
whole book.

That's intersesting.

But doesn't help.
