Matevz, The reason you have the extra white space between the staffs is because lilypond is creating a space to hold the blank lyrics, that's why \removeEmptyStaves doesn't remove them (they aren't empty, just blank). I also have the same problem when I create songs with a refrain. I've decided to use the \book feature to join several scores together to work around my problem.
\book { \score { % holds the notes and words for the verse } \score { % holds the notes and words for the refrain } \paper {} } This way the number of lyric lines in the verse will not effect the spacing of the refrain. Also, each start of a refrain or verse in a new score will start at the beginning of a new line. Sometimes this is good or bad, depending on the song. I hope this helps you out.
