There are two ways.

1)  Place hidden notes at the kink points and then make several 
glissandi w/ padding=0 on the left and right at the notes.  This is good 
if you want to suggest a sort of note-like horizontal spacing.

2)  Override the stencil command with several line stencils.  You can 
use the positions of the left and right bounds to normalize the lines so 
that they fit properly in the space provided.  Note that, to make sure 
there's enough space, you'd have to set minimum-length for glissandi - 
there's a bit in the docs about it (I forget where, but you can do a 
find in the pdf for it).
