As far as I can see, this is just an ordinary text spanner without any 
text attached
to it (the definitions in gregorian-init.ly are:
episemInitium = \startTextSpan
episemFinis = \stopTextSpan

By default, this will result in a dashed line. If you want a solid line, 
just add
 \override TextSpanner #'dash-fraction = #'()
before the first episem.

One solution that imitates the original fairly well is to use a chord 
with two
identical notes:
< g g>

If you want to keep this rhythmically to correspond to a half note, you 
can do
<g g>4*2

Have you read the section on melismas in the manual?
