Uh, have you tried something like

<<
  \new PianoStaff << \new Staff \repeat unfold 24 e'4
                     \new Staff \repeat unfold 24 c'4
                   >>
  { \skip 1*2
    \new PianoStaff << \new Staff \repeat unfold 16 e''4
                       \new Staff \repeat unfold 16 c''4
                     >>
  }
>>
