To beam or not to beam is a decision. Beaming across rests requires a
rather dedicated decision. The autobeamer caters rather for the cases
where the composer does _not_ make an explicit decision.
LilyPond has a number of possibilities to avoid repetitive entry
however. You can, for example, use something like
<< \mymusic
\repeat unfold 32 { s8[ s s s] }
>>
to add explicit beams in parallel to some passage written in eights. Of
course, this beam right across everything.

The documentation is quite explicit that automatic beams will not span
rests.
