In that case you can put
\set Score.currentBarNumber = #2
in the first full bar to cause this to be numbered as bar 2.

This is not the conventional numbering - LilyPond generates the
conventional numbering by default. 

Incidentally, I found this syntax by using Denemo which has a command to
set the bar number (if you need to) and it generates LilyPond syntax
directly. (And, of course, it is quicker for entering music in the first
place :) )
