Here you refer to "rows". I think in you mean what are technically
called "systems" (see the Denemo Manual near the start where this is
spelled out). Within a system there are staffs which may themselves be
grouped into staff groupings (e.g. a piano staff or a woodwind
section).

Yes, though how to do it depends on whether you have the staffs grouped
or not (see Staffs/Voices->Staff Groupings (Braces))). The reason is
that LilyPond allows you to control how things are spaced inside groups
or between groups etc.
Without any braces if you select
Score->LilyPond Score Prolog

and paste this into the box:

  \layout {
        \context {
            \Staff
\override VerticalAxisGroup #'default-staff-staff-spacing
    #'basic-distance = #100
        }
    }

then a huge 100 staff-spaces gap appears between successive staffs in
each system. You would edit the number #100 to be what you wanted. If
this is the sort of effect you need then you would want a command to
set this conveniently. I can do this but I would like to be sure that
this was what you wanted - generally the LilyPond defaults are best so
I'm wondering if there is really something else that you need to be
doing (e.g. inserting line breaks ...) A picture of what you are hoping
to achieve would help!
You will have found the commands for margins I hope?
