Hmmm...  I tried overriding the line positions of the staff:

\version "2.16.1"

\relative c'' {
  a c 
  \override Staff.StaffSymbol #'line-positions = #'( 18 16 14 12 10  4 2 0 -2 
-4 )
  a' c a' c
}

\relative c'' {
  \override Staff.StaffSymbol #'line-positions = #'( 18 16 14 12 10    4 2 0 -2 
-4 )
  a c a' c a' c
}

It looks like this only works to change the whole staff, by putting it at the 
beginning of the music (or in the Staff's \with block), and does not work for a 
temporary staff extension occurring in the middle of the music.
