Why not simply insert a few more \melisma ... \melismaEnd?

bassChorus = \relative g {
	<<
		%% een maat per lijn
		{
			\partial 4 c4 \melisma
			c4. c8 c c c c
			g2. c4
			g4. g8 g g g c
			c2. d4
			d4. c8 b4 b
			g2. c4
			c4. c8 c c c c
			g2. c4
			g4. g8 g g g c
			c2. c4
			c4. e8 d4 d
			c2.
		}
		{
			c,4
			c4. c8 c c c c
			c2. c4
			c4. c8 c c e e
			f2. d4
			g4. g8 g4 g
			c,2. c4
			c4. c8 c c c c
			c2. c4
			c4. c8 c c e e
			f2. f4
			g4. g8 g4 g
			c,2. \melismaEnd
		}
	>>
}

  ...

bassdownRefrein = \relative g {
	r4
	r <b g g,> <b g g,> r %%NOTE: Hij leeft! should show up here
	r <c c,> <c c,> <c c,>
	<a d,>4. \melisma <a d,>8 <d d,> <c d,> <d d,>8. <c d,>16
	<b g>2. r4 \melismaEnd
	r <b g g,> <b g g,> r %%NOTE: Hij leeft! should show up here
	r <c c,> <c c,> <c c,>
	<a f>4. <a f>8 <d g,> <c g> <d g,> <b g>
	<b c,>2.
