Only by keeping the context alive during the gap, but if you have to do
this, you might as well put everything into one temporary context, like
this:

\version "2.19.18"

\new Staff = "Permanent"
\relative c'' {
  c c c c
  << 
    { 
      c c c c 
      c c c c
      c c c c
    }
    \new Staff \with {
      \remove "Time_signature_engraver"
      alignAboveContext = #"Permanent"
      \magnifyStaff 0.7
    }
    { 
      c c c c 
      \stopStaff 
      s s s s 
      \startStaff
      \clef "treble"
      c c c c
    }
  >>
  c c c c
}
