Yes, there is, but the result is not what you want.
\once \override Score.MetronomeMark.before-line-breaking = #ly:grob-suicide!

The different length of s1 and R1*2 will always result into a splitted
MultiMeasureRest, afaik.

See:

\new Staff <<
  \compressFullBarRests
  { s1 }
  { R1*2 }
>>

Same for { s1 s1 }, only { s1*2 } would work.
