I have done this sort of thing to control the spacing of *all* the lines:

global = {
  \key d \major \time 2/4
  \overrideProperty Score.NonMusicalPaperColumn.line-break-system-details 
#'((Y-offset . 9))
  s2 * 5 \break
  \overrideProperty Score.NonMusicalPaperColumn.line-break-system-details 
#'((Y-offset . 43))
  s2 * 5 \break
  \overrideProperty Score.NonMusicalPaperColumn.line-break-system-details 
#'((Y-offset . 77))
  s2 * 4 \break
  \overrideProperty Score.NonMusicalPaperColumn.line-break-system-details 
#'((Y-offset . 119))
  s2 * 5 \bar "|."
}

Cheers,
David.
