I did set the paper size in the paper block using
#(set-paper-size "ansi c" 'landscape )
The only difference between previous, successful uses of this script and
now is that I am using the ansi c page size instead of ansi a.

It worked great. I use it for a very specific circumstance for some
of the music I engrave. Since that time, I have moved to using ANSI C
paper size (11" x 17") and now the systems do not fill to the bottom
of the page. The problem is, I have never gotten the hang of scripts
and I don't quite know what I am looking at. Which values in the
script should I update to allow the systems to vertically fill the
new page size?
You did set the appropriate paper size (lilypond defaults to A4)? Or
did you only move to using it as the goal for the printouts?
Changing paper size is documented at
https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.22/Documentation/notation/paper-size-and-automatic-scaling#setting-the-paper-size
Besides the paper-size there are variables that might influence the
vertical layout of your score when used.

If you have 1-page scores and it happened to vertically fit you
previous page size you might need to set the ragged-last-bottom to
false (it's true by default)
