Play around with values for the paper variables "indent" and
"short-indent":
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/horizontal-spacing-paper-variables#paper-variables-for-shifts-and-indents
Those control the fixed space before systems (i.e., they will stay the same
size regardless of the text length of instrumentName and
shortInstrumentName), so increasing their value may be necessary if you are
using a longer text strings.

Abraham
