It is a way but the problem I find is that the file won't compile with
that commandline option.

Say your file is

% this is example.ly
#(use-modules (guile-user))
#(set-global-staff-size size)
\repeat unfold 20 { c'1 }

%END

you can call it with

  lilypond -e '(define-public size 40)' a.ly

and the value of size will be honoured as global staff size.
