You can insert a \partcombineApart in the beginning of lh_one and 
restore the default behaviour m25 with a \partcombineAutomatic, when 
there are no more rests.

lh_one = \relative f {
  \global
  \clef bass
  \partcombineApart   % <- here
  r4 c'2 c4         | % m1
  ...
  r4 bf2 bf4        | % m24
  \partcombineAutomatic % <- and here
  c,4 g'2 bf4       | % m25
  ...
