Perhaps this can inspire you to a solution?

\new Staff <<
  \new Voice {\repeat percent 3 c1}
  \new Voice {\hideNotes s1 R1^"2" R1^"3"}
>>

You'd have to change \hideNotes to something that hides the rests, and you 
probably want to change font for the numbers too.

Also, I'm pretty sure one could write a Scheme function repeatPercent, so that 
the above could be shorthanded to something like
\repeatPercent #3 c1
