George,
If you can use a test release, JMRI 5.11.2 introduced a concept called a ghost block. ?The allows Dispatcher to simulate a train going through the ghost block.
If you are just looking at train tracking, you can create a virtual block and use Logix or LogixNG to simulate occupancy. ?
Another approach is to pretend the gap does not exist. ?Don't tell JMRI about the gap. ?Of course, that will not work if the gap is a turnout.

Subject: [jmriusers] Train tracking, dealing with gaps #traintracking

I created a nice panel for the museum layout and created train tracking markers on it. It works well except for one show stopping thing. At one spot in the loop there is a detection gap between blocks that kills the tracking. The gap is only 1 or 2 seconds.?
?
Is there a workaround for this? Increasing train length is not an option. Installing a new detector is not likely either.
