A method of controlling this was just added to LilyPond.

Try out different values for 'full-measure-extra-space in the example
below.  Note that the example will only work in 2.12.2 (latest
version).

%% BEGIN %%
\version "2.12.2"

\score {
  \relative c' {
    c1 c c c \break
    \override Score.NonMusicalPaperColumn
      #'full-measure-extra-space = #-0.25
    c1 c c c
  }
  \layout {
    indent = #0
    \context {
      \Staff
      \remove "Time_signature_engraver"
    }
  }
}
%% END %%

Hope this helps,
Patrick
