Try adding
top-system-spacing #'basic-distance = #10
to your paper block--adjust the number as necessary. This will affect every
page, including page 1--I'm not sure how to limit it to pages 2+. I tried
markup-system-spacing, but that didn't work. This one does move the first
system down like you want, though.
