Why not use stanza (and SpacingSpanner #'spacing-increment instead of
NoteHead #'extra-spacing-width):

\version "2.16.2"

# (set-global-staff-size 30) % yep, 30!

count =
\lyricmode {
   \set stanza = \markup \normal-text "Count: "
   \repeat unfold 2 { "1" "2" "3" "4" }
}

sticking =
\lyricmode {
   \set stanza = \markup \normal-text "Sticking: "
   \repeat unfold 2 { R L R L }
}

stickingII =
\lyricmode {
   %\set stanza = \markup \normal-text "StickingII: "
   \repeat unfold 2 { L R L R }
}

\score {
    <<
      \new Staff ="staff" \with { \remove "Time_signature_engraver" }
        \new Voice ="one" {
            \clef percussion
            \override Score.SpacingSpanner #'spacing-increment = #2
            d'4 d' d' d'
            \newSpacingSection
            \override Score.SpacingSpanner #'spacing-increment = #4
            d' d' d' d'
        }

      \new Lyrics \with { alignAboveContext = "staff" }
      \lyricsto "one" \count
      \new Lyrics \lyricsto "one" \sticking
      \new Lyrics \lyricsto "one" \stickingII
    >>
}

HTH,
