I can only think of one way, and it's ugly. *Really* ugly. But it
worked for me once. :)
For each instrument, define two staffs.
Cellobeg = \notes { blah blah } % the first four or eight bars
Cello = \notes {blah blah } % everything apart from the beginning
In your \score setup, you obviously want this:
\score { \context GrandStaff=gs <
...
{ \Cellobeg \Cello}
...

Now you have two seperate staff objects -- one that's used for the first page
of your score (\foobeg), and another that's used for the rest of your score
(\foo). You can set the minimumVerticalExtent to different values.
I used this for a string quartet piece; I wanted everybody to have the whole
score for the first staff-line, but then to only print their own part -- like
this:
Cello Part:
/ vln1
| vln2
| vla
\ vlc
| vlc
| vlc
| vlc |.
