In addition, if you do not mind having the extra staff always for a 
whole system (which probably doesn't make much of a difference 
space-wise), it's probably even easier to just add an extra staff from 
the beginning and use \Remove[All]EmptyStaves:

\version "2.19.80"

<<
  \new PianoStaff \with { instrumentName = "Manual" } <<
    \new Staff { \repeat unfold 180 c''4 }
    \new Staff { \clef bass \repeat unfold 180 c4 }
  >>
  \new Staff \with {
    instrumentName = "Pedal"
    shortInstrumentName = "Ped."
    \RemoveAllEmptyStaves
    % alternatively, if you want to indicate right from the start the a 
pedal staff is coming up somewhere:
    % \RemoveEmptyStaves
  } {
    \clef bass
    R1*25
    \repeat unfold 12 c4
    R1*10
  }
>>
