Here's one way to do it. Put the GrandStaff (should it be a PianoStaff?) and
the Ossia staff within a StaffGroup, setting the StaffGroup's SpanBar to
dashed "!". This will override the internal GrandStaff's SpanBar, so it has
to be reset back to solid "|". And finally, remove the StaffGroup's
System_start_delimiter_engraver to get rid of the bracket at the beginning
of each system because you don't need/want it. Here's the updated \score
code:

%<-------------- SNIP ----------------

\score {
  \new StaffGroup \with {
    \override SpanBar.glyph-name = #"!"
    \remove System_start_delimiter_engraver
  } <<
    \new GrandStaff \with {
      \override SpanBar.glyph-name = #"|"
    } <<
      \new Staff << \FourA >>
      \new Staff << \FourB >>    
    >>
    \new Staff \with {      
      \remove "Time_signature_engraver"
      fontSize = #-3
      \override StaffSymbol.staff-space = #(magstep -3)
      \override StaffSymbol.thickness = #(magstep -3)
      \override VerticalAxisGroup.remove-first = ##t      
    } << \FourOssia >>
  >>
  
  \header { 
    piece = "Song"

  }
  \layout { 
    \context {
      \Staff \RemoveEmptyStaves       
    } 
  }
}
