Yes. Replace "\layout {}" with "\layout { \context{ \RemoveEmptyStaffContext}}" and the empty staff disappears. You can also place the \break in the "csu" command to make it easier to use. Maybe you could even add a \tag so this only takes effect in the full score and the individual instrumental parts are unaffected by the staff switch or the forced line breaks.
