I've just typeset a score with the same issue: 4 french horns on two
staves, with several common rests on each staff. I ended up using the
following workaround: a third voice per staff, with the common rests,
and using skips in the horns parts.

hornOne   = { s1 s1 s2 c''4 d'' }
hornTwo   = { s1 s1 s2 e'4  g'  }
hornRests = { R1 R1 r2 s2       }

 << \clef treble
    \new Voice { \voiceOne \hornOne }
    \new Voice { \voiceTwo \hornTwo }
    \new Voice { \oneVoice \hornRests } >>

Then, for an individual score, one can use:

 << \clef treble
    \hornOne
    \hornRests >>
