I'd go about this with something like:

\version "2.25.10"

\paper {
  #(set-paper-size "a6")
}

solo = \relative c' {
  \repeat unfold 2 { a'4 b c d e d c b }
  R1*5
  a4 b c d e d c b
  R1*4  R1
}

individual = \relative c' {
  \repeat unfold 4 { c4 d e f g a b c b a g f e d c d }
}

\new StaffGroup
<<
  \new Staff \with {
    \RemoveAllEmptyStaves
    \magnifyStaff #2/3
  }
  \new Voice {
    \solo
  }

  \new Staff {
    \new Voice {
      \individual
    }
  }
>>

Might take a little trial and error to get the right combination of the R1
multiples, but should be fairly straightforward.

Also, if a section either starts or ends partway through a stave there will
be empty measures - \RemoveAllEmptyStaves goes from line break to line
break. This is shown in the 3rd line of this example.

As this is Lilypond, of course there are other ways to do this. Have a look
at
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.25/Documentation/notation/ossia-staves
and
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.25/Documentation/notation/hiding-staves
for some other examples.
