Greetings,
not really (as far as I know).
If you really want to keep your variables separate, you’ll have to use
simultaneous music instead of sequential expressions :

partA = { c'2 b | R1*3 }
partB = { \partial 4 g4 | \bar "||"  c'1 e }
\score {
  <<
    {\oneVoice \partA}
    \\
    {\oneVoice s1*15/4 \partB}
  >>
}

Cheers,
