I would like to set one global setting for rehearsal marks in the score and a separate global setting for rehearsal marks in parts, so that the minimum staff distance is larger in the score and smaller in the parts. Is this possible?
No, I’m afraid not: the distance from the staff is determined by an engraving option, which has the same value in all layouts.

Dang that’s a bummer. How does one best do this then? Just accept that either the score or the parts won’t be to ones liking? Find middle ground? Or set the parts correctly, and then manually adjust the score?
This isn’t in general a problem for most people, so perhaps you could say a bit more about your requirements here. Normally rehearsal marks are positioned pretty close above the barline in both score and parts, and only moved further away if they would otherwise collide with something.
Sure but in a big score, close is relative. Very close on A4 (parts) is relatively too close on A3 (score) in my opinion. For example this, not excessively far on A3 at the top of the score:
Is way too far on the part.
I’m not a professional engraver though so maybe I am doing things wrong.
Edit, this is also because of the discrepency of rehearsal mark sizes
Have you tried setting all your rehearsal marks close (for the parts) and then Filtering the rehearsal marks in the score and moving them (in bulk) manually?
