Hi Jacques,
I’ve created this score from a psalms book, both attached, with explicit,
sometimes artificial, time signatures and rests for the time being.
What is the usual way to setup such a choral, in terms of compound time
signatures, partials, measure 13 spanning over a line break, minimizing the
number of rests such as measure 4, the display of rests at measure 8, and the
like?
I would always recommend to keep everything as close as possible to the
actual style of writing employed by composers like Schein. The original
1627 printing looks as follows:

Of course, today we would prefer using an actual score in 2 or 4 staves,
but I'd strongly argue against pretending there is an actual alternating
metre, actual measures and so on.
I didn't typeset exactly this tune, but here is an example from
Osiander's collection that I engraved some time ago:
