I'm not clear exactly what you want. Do you want the staff with only two notes to continue for the same length as the other staff, minus the barline at the end? If so, an easy solution would in fact be to use spacer rests and hide one of the barlines:
<<
\new Staff {
b b s2
\once \override Staff.BarLine #'transparent = ##t
}
\new Staff {b4 b b b}

If you want both lines to stretch the full width of the page without spacers, you could do something like this:
\paper {
ragged-right = ##f
}
#(define (to-end-of-line grob)
(ly:output-def-lookup (ly:grob-layout grob) 'line-width))
<<
\new Staff {
\override Staff.StaffSymbol #'width = #to-end-of-line
b4 b b b
b b
}
\new Staff {
\repeat unfold 7 {b b b b}
}
