What's wrong with NonMusicalPaperColumn?
You may use it for one-time changes together with overriding
VerticalAxisGroup in \layout for general settings as Jean
demonstrated.

\layout {
   \context {
     \Staff
     \override VerticalAxisGroup.staff-staff-spacing.basic-distance = #20
   }
}

<<
  \new Staff {
    \repeat unfold 4 c'4
    \break
    \overrideProperty Score.NonMusicalPaperColumn.line-break-system-details
      #'((alignment-distances . (40)))
    \repeat unfold 4 c'4
    \break
    \repeat unfold 4 c'4
  }
  \new Staff \repeat unfold 12  c'4
