Ouch.

That seems like an odd question because it focuses on what you don't
want rather than what you do. Expressed in positive terms, what you
seem to be asking is "Can I get LP to print a score which is taller
than the page, so that the System Start Delimiter extends out of the
bottom of the first page and into the top of the second? If so, how
is it done?"

Is that what you want? If not, it might be sensible to attach a
hand-drawn sketch of what it is that you want.
