Unsure there is a definitively "right" way... but here's an option:

Move the StaffGroup declaration outside the music. Also, you can name
contexts so you can reference an existing one to avoid creating new
ones
(explicitly or implicitly).
Perfect, thanks!
As a final tweak, in case anyone finds this thread in the future,
here's
how to omit the time signature on the new staff:

Though a question -- I discovered that adding *just* the \new
StaffGroup on
the "outside" made things work -- on the simplified example, that'd be
something like http://lilybin.com/1l8whf/16. In other words, that works
even without explicitly naming the existing Staff context and referring
to
it with \context. Is there any difference between these, aside from
possible readability arguments?
In many cases, you can rely on the implicit handling of contexts. Your
example #16 above relies on the implicit continuation of the current
context as only the divisi staff is explicitly created, so things do
work as expected.
But note that this new staff appears below the original one. If you
wanted it to be above, consider:
http://lilybin.com/1l8whf/17
(I added color just to make it easier to see which context is which.)
