David, thanks, this did indeed accomplish my goal - so I'm happy.  It sounds like my original approach was the right idea but apparently this is a known issue.

Hi.  I have a case where I want to have different vertical spacing between two
different scores.  I can get system-system spacing to change for both scores
using a \paper variable. But if I'm understanding the documentation correctly
I should be able to use the same variable in a distinct layout block in each
of the two scores.  If tried several different coding lines based on things
I've found on google but have not found the correct coding yet.
Sorry, this isn't supported, it's a known issue
(https://gitlab.com/lilypond/lilypond/-/issues/1885 ; there are
no comments there, but IIRC there was a more recent discussion).
Perhaps
