In a construct like:

 \bar "|."
 \break
 \bar ".|"


the second command will override the first, because both are applied
at the same musical moment.

There is no predefined barline withe the behaviour you want, instead
you need to define a special barline yourself:


\version "2.18"

#(define-bar-line "|.-b" "|." ".|" "|.")

\relative c'' {
          \partial 8  e8
          \bar ".|"
          \repeat unfold 32 a,4
          \bar "|.-b"
          \break
          \repeat unfold 32 a4
          \bar "|." |
}
