I suggest programming lilypond to format ragged right ##f (justified)
single bars of length 4 inches for each the cantor and congregation.
Then use lilypond-book to make individual eps (or pdf) files. You
can then paste those images into a larger document in the two 4 inch
each columns you are looking for. Or, you can use latex (or
pdflatex) to make the two column format.
If you send some samples, I'd be glad to play around with it. I'm
getting better at the lilypond-book stuff.

I'm working on some unmetered music that essentially needs to fall
into two columns--cantor on the left, congregation on the right. It
would be great if I could get all the measures to be of the same width
so that the columns would line up neatly. Searching the mailing list,
the only solution I found is to add a row of invisible 32nd notes (or
whatever duration I like) in each measure. Since all the measures
aren't the same musical length, I'd have to do some hefty
duration-scaling to make it come out right, and I'd rather not if
there's another way to do this. Is there?
