Hi Joei.
Checking the Internals Reference (
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.25/Documentation/internals/breathingsign )
there's an alist for the BreathingSign that contains spacing. Looks like
the next-note one is what you might be looking for. I gave it a whirl here
with these results:
music = \relative c'' {
c c \breathe c c \break
c c \once \override BreathingSign.space-alist = #'((next-note fixed-space
. -3)
(right-edge
extra-space . 0.1)) \breathe c c
}
producing:

Is that kinda what you were looking to do?
For some reason Lilypond complained if I left out the right-edge entry.
Quite honestly I don't understand this well enough to know why, but it
does work. Or, at least, it seems to. I fiddled a bit with various values
for the right-edge with no apparent effect. But from what I can tell that
one only applies when the breathe mark is at the very end of a line. Since
that isn't the case here I didn't really think it would do anything, but I
tried it anyway. Just don't quite get why Lilypond throws a programming
error if it gets left out. So hopefully this might at least point you in a
direction that might help.
