You may need to use \noBreak and \break commands to manually
control the number of bars in a system.  By forbidding line
breaks with \noBreak at the point where the breaks currently
are, you should get more bars on a line.  Alternatively, if
there are too many systems you could set system-count in the
paper block to the number of systems you require.
