I think that you would achieve this by moving the MultiMeasureRest-engraver
from VoiceContext to StaffContext

\translator {
  \VoiceContext
  \remove MultimeasureRestEngraver
}
\translator {
  \StaffContext
  \consists MultiMeasureRestEngraver
}

then I think that no multimeasurerests will show up whenever there is anything
else on the staff, and you can just create a voice containing nothing but
mmrests.
Again: I am not sure.
