I dont' really understand the problem. How to you typeset the text 
instructions? As long as you let LilyPond insert the text as well
(using text scripts or whatever), it should automatically allocate
more space between the staves.

Actually, inserting a text script that takes some extra space is a good 
way in general to increase the spacing between two staves, for example 
using something like
c^\markup{\pad-to-box #'(0 . 0) #'(0 . 10) \line{Some text} } or if you 
just want the space, not any text:
c^\markup{\pad-markup #10 \null }
