Yes. In particular, while there are loads of ways you can make room for 
some grobs in a specific measure 
(http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.23/Documentation/notation/adjusting-horizontal-spacing-for-specific-layout-objects), 
there is no super convenient single-setting way to *reduce* spacing at a 
given point since you have to identify and override all parameters that 
set ideal and minimum distances -- often there are several of them at play.
