This rather follows on from 
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2016-02/msg00014.html and

I am trying to do a similar thing with a volta repeat: a longish 1st time 
section without a long 2nd time volta indication. I tried to set the 
voltaSpannerDuration but this gives an error "cannot end volta spanner", which 
I don't understand. Is there a way of doing this without getting an error? It 
seems that LP tries to put the same number of bards into the 2nd time as the 
1st time. A quick straw poll of printed music implies that the norm for the 
final alternative is a single bar. Is this a bug or am I missing something?

A minimal example follows.

\version "2.18.2"

\language "english"

\score {
  \new Staff {

    \time 4/4
    \clef treble

    \relative c''
    {
      c1
      \repeat volta 2 {
        c d e f
      }
      \alternative {
        {
          g f e d
        }
        {
          \set Score.voltaSpannerDuration = #(ly:make-moment 4/4)
          g a b c
        }
      }
      b a g
    }
  }
}
