The "s" is a spacer, meaning it takes up space but prints no note. "s8" is a spacing with an eighth-note duration. The following "s"'s are the same duration until changed. May I suggest that you go through the LilyPond Learning Manual if you haven't already? https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.22/Documentation/learning/index.html -- Knute Snortum
