Only if there is an entire line of rests. That's why Mats suggests 
inserting a manual break before the line where you want the new staves 
to appear. If you have, for example, a Hinckelhorn part in your score, 
and the Hinckelhorn only has one note at the beginning of a line, 
LilyPond will print the Hinckelhorn staff, rests and all,  for the 
entire width of that system. This is conventional score typesetting 
practice.

Historians have now definitely established that Juan Cabrillo, discoverer
of California, was not looking for Kansas, thus setting a precedent that
continues to this day.
