This is probably pretty hackish, but you could do something like the
following, where I add the Multi_measure_rest_engraver to a Dynamics
context:

\version "2.17.3"

\new PianoStaff <<
  \new Staff {
    R1*10
    R1*5
    R1*8
  }
  \new Dynamics \with {
    \consists Multi_measure_rest_engraver
    \override MultiMeasureRest #'expand-limit = #1
    \override MultiMeasureRest #'transparent = ##t
    \override MultiMeasureRestNumber #'Y-offset =
#ly:self-alignment-interface::y-aligned-on-self
    \override MultiMeasureRestNumber #'self-alignment-Y = #CENTER
  }
  {
    \compressFullBarRests R1*10
    R1*5
    R1*8
  }
  \new Staff {
    R1*10
    R1*5
    R1*8
  }
>>

\layout {
  \context {
    \Voice
    \override MultiMeasureRestNumber #'stencil = #point-stencil
    \override MultiMeasureRest #'expand-limit = #1
  }
}


Hope this helps!
