The answer appears to be no, although it would seem to be useful to have.

Drawing one bracket across many staves is more difficult than what the 
existing LSR item does, because the height has to vary depending on the 
space required for the staves.

LilyPond draws span bars across several staves, and has an accessible 
interface to choose what shapes to use for bar lines (in bar-line.scm) 
so a LilyPond user who understands some Scheme could probably make the 
extended brackets, with some effort.
