The property you'll want to modify here is the bar-extent of BarLine - this
sets the Y-extent of the bar line. Example:
\version "2.24.3"
\score
{
\relative c'
{
\time 9/4
\slurDown
\override Staff.StaffSymbol.line-count = #2
\override Staff.BarLine.bar-extent = #'(-0.5 . 0.5)
f4(g) a f(g) a(g) g2 |
f4(g) a f(g) a(g) g2 |
\break
}
}
which produces:

Have a look at

settings available for bar lines.
