Hi,
Thanks guys for your excellent responses!
One final question on the issue - is it possible to wrap the time
signature in parenthesis instead of brackets? I was trying by
altering the font sizes so the parenthesis was large enough to cover
both columns, but it was getting messy very fast and I didn't quite
get it looking right.

The distance from the staff to the bottom edge of the \mark is
determined by the padding property of the RehearsalMark object,
as described in the "The \override Command" section of the manual.
So,
\once \override Score.RehearsalMark #'padding = #0.0
will place it so it touches the staff.
You may also want to play with the horizontal alignment, for example
\once \override Score.RehearsalMark #'self-alignment-X = #-1
to make it left aligned instead of the default centering.
Finally, \override Staff.TimeSignature #'transparent = ##t will leave
an empty space in the stave where the time signature would have been
printed. If you want to get rid of this extra space, you could instead
do \override Staff.TimeSignature #'print-function = ##f

I would make a context LargeTimeSignatures which contains only a
Time_signature_engraver, something like
\header {
texidoc = "Time signatures may be put on a separate staff.
This is used contemporary pieces with many time signatures
"
}
\version "2.6.0"
\layout {
raggedright = ##T
}
\layout{
\context {
\type "Engraver_group_engraver"
\consists "Time_signature_engraver"
\consists "Axis_group_engraver"
\name "TimeSig"
\override TimeSignature #'font-size = #4
}
\context {
\Score \accepts TimeSig
}
\context { \Staff \remove "Time_signature_engraver" }
}
\relative
<< \new Staff { \time 2/4 c2 \time 3/4 c2. \time 4/4 c1 }
\new TimeSig {
\skip 1 * 2
}
\new Staff { r4 r r
r4 r r
r4 r r }
