please have a look at the correponding entries in the manuals, e.g. 
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.15/Documentation/notation-big-page#text-markup-commands
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.15/Documentation/notation-big-page#text-markup-commands
 

for your example you can define a different line-width (it must of course be
compatible with the indentation in the \paper section)


\paper {
  indent = 15
}
\new GrandStaff <<
  \new Staff \with {
    instrumentName = \markup
    \override #'(line-width . 10)
    \fill-line {
      \vcenter \column { \null "Flute" }
      \column {  "1"  "2" }
      }
  }
  {c d e f}
  \new Staff \with {
    instrumentName =  \markup
    \override #'(line-width . 8)
    \fill-line { "Piccolo" \null }
  }
  {c d e f}
