Simply add in your score :

\layout {
  \context{
    \Lyrics
    \override LyricHyphen #'minimum-distance = #5 %% <= or any other
distance
    \override LyricSpace #'minimum-distance = #5  %% <= or any other
distance
  }
}

No, there is no simple way.
At least, you have to give LP some indications where you'd like the breaks
to be, e.g.:

\version "2.18.2"
\include "gregorian.ly"

myMelody = {
  \cadenzaOn
  \repeat unfold 80 a'4
  \bar"|."
}

myBreaks = {
  \repeat unfold 5 { \repeat unfold 14 { s4 } \bar"'" \break }
}

myLyrics = \lyricmode {
  \repeat unfold 80 La
}

\score {
  <<
    \new Staff \myMelody
    \addlyrics \myLyrics
    \new Dynamics \myBreaks
  >>
  \layout {
    \context {
      \Staff
      \omit Stem
      \omit TimeSignature
    }
    \context{
      \Lyrics
      \override LyricHyphen.minimum-distance = #3
      \override LyricSpace.minimum-distance = #3
    }
  }
}

HTH,
Pierre
