Your outermost enclosing << .. >> says play the enclosed structures
simultaneously. They shouldn't be there.

Replace:

\score {
<<
    \new StaffGroup ...
    \new StaffGroup ...
    \new StaffGroup ...
>>
    \layout { }
}

by:

\score {
    \new StaffGroup ...
    \layout { }
}
\score {
    \new StaffGroup ...
    \layout { }
}
\score {
    \new StaffGroup ...
    \layout { }
}

If the material is sufficiently heterogeneous, it can
make sense to concatenate multiple scores.

True, but I'm pretty sure multiple \score blocks aren't needed here, but rather make the notes/lyrics sequential. How about the following structure, BGM?

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

\version "2.18.2"

altoTop = { c'1 c' c' c' }

altoCenter = { d'1 d' d' d' }

altoBottom = { e'1 e' e'2 e' f' f' }

bassTop = { \clef bass g1 g g g }

bassCenter = { f1 f f f }

bassBottom = { e1 e e2 e d d }

altoNotes = {

  \altoTop \break

  \altoCenter \break

  \altoBottom \bar "|."

}

bassNotes = {

  \bassTop

  \bassCenter

  \bassBottom

}

verseCenter = \lyricmode { 

  Cen -- ter verse here

}

centerSkips = \lyricmode { \repeat unfold 4 { \skip 4 } }

choruslet = \lyricmode {

  Cho -- rus!

}

verseOne = \lyricmode {

  Verse one on top,

  % only needed in one of the verses

  \verseCenter

  Verse one be -- low:

  % no need to add skips here since nothing follows

}

% ... verses 2-7 (similar structure to verseFifteen below)

verseEight = \lyricmode {

  Verse eight on top,

  % used to jump over the chorus part since it is already in verseOne

  \centerSkips

  Verse eight be -- low:

  % put this here for convenient vertical alignment

  \choruslet

}

% ... verses 9-14 (similar structure to verseFifteen below)

verseFifteen = \lyricmode {

  Verse fif -- teen top,

  \centerSkips

  Verse fif -- teen low:

  % no need to add skips here since nothing follows

}

\score {

  \new ChoirStaff << 

    \new Staff {

      \new Voice = alto \altoNotes

    }

    \new Lyrics \lyricsto alto \verseOne

    % ...

    \new Lyrics \lyricsto alto \verseEight

    % ...

    \new Lyrics \lyricsto alto \verseFifteen

    \new Staff {

      \new Voice = bass \bassNotes

    }

  >>

  \layout {

    \override Lyrics.VerticalAxisGroup #'staff-affinity = #CENTER

  }

}

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

HTH,

Abraham
