When there is a Staff I use the trick to add transparent multi-measure
rests with minimum-length.
I was surprised to see that it seems to work with ChordNames as well if
"Multi_measure_rest_engraver" is added to the ChordNames context.

so it is not on top of the last word of the previous measure?
Add the "Bar_engraver" to the Lyrics context as well and make the bar lines
transparent. This way the lyrics will avoid collision with the transparent
bar lines and stay within their measure.
\layout {
\context {
\ChordNames
\consists "Bar_engraver"
\override BarLine.bar-extent = #'(0 . 2)
\override BarLine.hair-thickness = #3
\consists "Multi_measure_rest_engraver"
\override MultiMeasureRest.transparent = ##t
\override MultiMeasureRest.minimum-length = #12 % value to be adapted
}
\context {
\Lyrics
\override LyricText.self-alignment-X = #LEFT
\consists "Bar_engraver"
\override BarLine.transparent = ##t
}
}
theChords = \chordmode {
c1 c c c c c c c
}
transparentRests = {
R1*8
}
theLyrics = \lyricmode {
a1 tesssssst of2 some mesasureleeength1 x
}
\score {
<<
\new ChordNames << \theChords \transparentRests >>
\new Lyrics \theLyrics
>>
}
Kind regards,
