If you only want to do it once, you can do

\override Score.TimeSignature #'style = #'single-digit

so the setting applies to the full score instead of only the
current Staff context. Even better is probably to redefine the default 
definition of Staff context:
\score{
 ...  % The actual music comes here
 \layout{
   \context {
     \Staff
     \override TimeSignature #'style = #'single-digit
   }
 }
}
