There shouldn't be a problem with the larger staff sizes. There are a
number of things you can do like increasing note spacing (see the
"Horizontal Spacing" section in the Notation Reference for specific
examples), putting in manual \break and \pageBreak commands. There's also
using some of the \paper variables to encourage the layout algorithm to
spread the measures out more, like
\paper {
system-count = 4
page-count = 2
% etc.
}
