Thank you. Yes, I had spotted that the viola part causes problems at the final cadence. You have clearly looked at the whole score, not just the bit I posted ;-)

There are a few other octavation problems that need to be sorted out; only Rachmaninov could span some of the chords.

better just combine the violins as described by mats but as \voiceOne and the viola as \voiceTwo:
\new Staff {
\new Voice {\voiceOne << \viI \viII >>
\new Voice {\voiceTwo \vla}
}
then you might use \change Staff to send the viola in bar 19 to the left hand staff for better readability

    \partCombine will combine two parts, but is there a way of
    combining three? I have tried

        \partCombine \partCombine VoiceA VoiceB VoiceC

    and a couple of variants, but they all yield strange outputs and
    error messages. I am using the Merge_rests_engraver.

    As long as all the parts share the same rhythm, you could do
    something as simple as

    \version "2.24.4" viI = \relative c'' { \key as \major r8 c es r r
    bes es r | } viII = \relative c'' { \key as \major r8 as c r r g bes
    r | } vla = \relative c' { \key as \major r8 es as r r es g r | }
    \score{ \new Staff{ \new Voice << \viI \viII \vla >> } }
