As text is fed unchanged to (La)TeX you can write (La)TeX code wherever
you can write text. The only thing in lyrics mode is that you have
to mark this "text" manually using quotes. And backslashes have to be
doubled.  If Lilypond can't compute
the real dimensions you have to provide them by hand. Or you can write a
script that calls LaTeX to compute the dimensions. 

There might be another solution for you to correct the output. Take a
look at what Chinese or Japanese lilypond users have done.
