The space at first line-end is because you provide a new
4/4-TimeSignature. Mere hiding it will not affect the space reserved
for it.
Better do:
    \override Score.TimeSignature.break-visibility = ##(#f #t #t)

The trills I'd shorten a bit, maybe set staff-padding in an additional override.


Makes for:

\paper { ragged-right = ##f }

<<
  %\time 4/4

  \new Staff {
    \cadenzaOn
    \hide Score.TimeSignature
    r8
    \override TrillSpanner.bound-details.right.padding = 1.5
    \override TrillSpanner.staff-padding = 2.5
    a'4 \startTrillSpan^\markup {"senza tempo -" \italic "quasi cadenza"}
    b'  \startTrillSpan\stopTrillSpan
    a'  \startTrillSpan\stopTrillSpan
    b'  \startTrillSpan\stopTrillSpan
    e'''\stopTrillSpan
    \override TrillSpanner.staff-padding = 6
    f'''\startTrillSpan
    e'''\startTrillSpan\stopTrillSpan
    f'''\stopTrillSpan
    \bar ""
    \revert TrillSpanner.staff-padding
    \revert TrillSpanner.bound-details.right.padding
    \cadenzaOff
    \break
    \override Score.TimeSignature.break-visibility = ##(#f #t #t)
    \time 4/4
