Look further down the page of Notation Reference 1.2.2 Writing rests to
the "Selected snippets" section. You'll see there is a property
"expand-limit" which controls the number of bars at which Kirchenpausen
become a simple line rest. You can change this default (10) with:

\override MultiMeasureRest.expand-limit = #3 % or the number you want
