Here's how I would do it, which seems to work very well when I have had to
do something like this:
\version "2.18.2"
A = \relative b' {
\set Staff.instrumentName = #"A"
\set Staff.shortInstrumentName = #"A"
\repeat unfold 4 { c4 d e f }
\break
\repeat unfold 4 { s1 }
\break
\repeat unfold 4 { c4 d e f }
}
Aa = \relative b' {
\repeat unfold 4 { s1 }
\repeat unfold 4 { c4 d e f }
\repeat unfold 4 { s1 }
}
Ab = \relative b' {
\repeat unfold 4 { s1 }
\repeat unfold 4 { f4 e d c }
\repeat unfold 4 { s1 }
}
T = \relative b' {
\set Staff.instrumentName = #"T"
\set Staff.shortInstrumentName = #"T"
\repeat unfold 12 { b4 b b b }
}
\score {
\new ChoirStaff <<
\new Staff { \A }
\new ChoirStaff {
\set ChoirStaff.systemStartDelimiter = #'SystemStartBrace
\set ChoirStaff.shortInstrumentName = #"A"
<<
\new Staff \Aa
\new Staff \Ab
>>
}
\new Staff { \T }
>>
\layout {
\context {
\Staff
\RemoveEmptyStaves
\override VerticalAxisGroup #'remove-first = ##t % required for this
solution
}
}
}
which gives:

Look that over and see if that philosophy works for you.
