I’m afraid you might have to hard-code it. Fortunately, this can be done by something like
\paper {
  page-count = 8
  systems-per-page = 2
  system-count = 15
}
– only you might end up with the single system being on another page than the last, in which case… you need manual breaks. It’s a difficult task – sometimes it’s better to just look for appropriate conditions in which Lily will space it out nicely without being restricted like that, sometimes you have to bite the bullet.

Best, Simon
