It is not that you left out the right-edge entry, it is that you removed
it.  The way you have written your override, it removes all of
space-alist and only leaves the entries you state explicitly.

Instead, try overriding just the entry
BreathingSign.space-alist.next-note (and I prefer using a \tweak here)
such as

\relative c'' {
  c c \breathe c c \break
  c c
  \tweak space-alist.next-note #'(fixed-space . -3) \breathe c c
}
