I think you could use the \layout block with a specific context. You'll
have to use GrandStaff or some other staff container for it to work, though.
%%%
\version "2.24.3"
\layout {
\context {
\GrandStaff
\override StaffGrouper.staff-staff-spacing.padding = 20
}
}
tromboneA= \relative c {
r1 a2 a
}
tromboneB = \relative c {
r1 f2 b
}
tromboneAPart = \new Staff \with {
instrumentName = "I"
} { \clef bass \tromboneA }
tromboneBPart = \new Staff \with {
instrumentName = "II"
} { \clef bass \tromboneB }
\score {
\new GrandStaff <<
\tromboneAPart
\tromboneBPart
>>
}
