I am trying to create a single railing that has a series of "framed" guardrail sections with 4" gaps between them, but a continuous handrail running across the gaps. I can't figure out how to model a gap between the guardrail sections AND have a continuous handrail. Please see the attached sketch. Thanks for the help!

When I have railings with similar problems, I use multiple railings in the same location.

Can you please elaborate? Do you mean 2 railings drawn on top of each other (one guard rail only and one handrail only?) or staggered separate railing lines with breaks in them?

In your case, maybe three or four or more railings.  One is the handrail only.  The others are individual guardrail sections.  I usually make one like the handrail, then copy that in place - same place and change that type to the guard and edit the sketch so it is the length I would need.  Copy/paste/edit again for each section.  Obviously, doing the copy paste allows for exact alignment but the offset from the sketch line for the guardrail needs to be more than the handrail offset.
