It would be the job of the engraver for multimeasure rests.  However,
I have distinct problems imagining what the output of the following
should be if one were to combine multimeasure rests:

\version "2.17.13"

global = {
  \repeat "unfold" 8 { s1 }
}

notes = \relative c' <<
  R1*5^"A"
  c1
  { s1 R1*3^"B" }
>>

\score {
  \new Staff << \global \notes >>
}
