Perhaps something like the attached image?  FWIW when I set these, under _no circumstances_ do I try to replicate the non-continuous staff lines.

Where you refer to:

"the originals are engraved using single-press typesetting (ie, each note is its own block, so staff-lines and whatnot aren't continuous), so it's an interesting exercise in historical scores.”

Not that I would do it either, but see the following for a possible approach:

Of course, this following simple example reveals the flaws right away!

 \version "2.19.16"

\new Staff <<

  \repeat unfold 8 {

    \startStaff s4 \stopStaff

  }

  {

    \override Staff.StaffSymbol.stencil =

    #(lambda (grob)

       (let ((st (ly:staff-symbol::print grob)))

         (ly:stencil-scale st 0.95 1)))

    a4 a a a

    a4 a a a

  }

How to deal with symbols that happen at the same time but are separated horizontally--for example, a clef and a time signature?
