Maybe something like

{
  \override Score.SpacingSpanner
  #'base-shortest-duration = #(ly:make-moment 1 2)
  b4 b b b
  \newSpacingSection
  \override Score.SpacingSpanner
  #'base-shortest-duration = #(ly:make-moment 1 16)
  b4 b b b
  \newSpacingSection
  \override Score.SpacingSpanner
  #'base-shortest-duration = #(ly:make-moment 1 2)
  b4 b b b
}
