This is usually where \alterBroken comes into play.  It works with 
anything that is a Spanner, allowing you to specify the desired value 
for each segment.

%%%%
{
  \set Staff.pedalSustainStyle = #'mixed
  \alterBroken Y-offset #'(0 -16) Staff.SustainPedalLineSpanner
  c'2\sustainOn c'
  c'1 \break
  c'2 c'\sustainOff
  c'1
}
%%%%
