That is a very ambiguous situation -- as it is on the page, I agree it
is too tight. Yet there is no really good way to change it -- if the
final measure is bumped to the next line then the first two measures are
way too loose. In such a situation I would consider moving the third
measure of the second system down to the third system and then moving
what is currently the third measure of the third system to the next
system. This would make the second system a little too loose and the
third system just right, in my estimation.
I might also consider moving the third measure of the first system to
the second system and indenting the first system so it isn't as loosely
spaced as it would be if the margins of that system were left as they
are now, with only two measures in the system.
But this does show the very personal nature of engraving, and what each
engraver is looking for.
