I'd say that the spacing in your example rather looks like
a bug that should be solved. Anyway, I hope you know
about the possibility to set
\once \override Score.SeparationItem #'padding = #1
described in section "Horizontal spacing overview"
which gives exactly what you ask for.

Hello all--
I would like to sponsor a feature, if it does not already exist in
LilyPond and if Han-Wen thinks it would be practical to implement:
the ability to quickly and easily add or subtract a little horizontal
space between musical elements in a staff, something like \hspace does
within markup.
I recently notated a piano piece that has repeated dotted eighth-note
chords, and the dots look too close to the following chord. I would love
to be able to add a little space between the dots and the chord that
follows, for example. (see attached GIF graphic)
Anyway, if Han-Wen thinks that this is a feature that would benefit
LilyPond and its users and if it is not too difficult to implement
without all kinds of possibly bad side effects, then I would like to
sponsor it.
best wishes,
