Without automatic alignment you can typeset this alternative with
\startextract ... \endextract into a TeX-box before beginning
the quite normal piece with \startpiece.
In the last days, it has been discussed in this list how to do this
by replacing the definition of \extractline by e.g. \setbox ...
At the place where you need this extract you may typeset it
using \zcharnote{...}{\unhox ...}.
You find an example in my edition of bwv1003 on page 10 and the source
is there, too: http://www.gmd.de/Misc/Music/scores/
There it's not typeset with \zcharnotes but with my solution for
typesetting fingering and bowing.

AFAIK a staff line is alway \hsize long.
That doesn't mean that it's impossible ... Nothing is impossible with TeX.
