He does not want to write 2. as a duration. He wants to write the whole thing 
as one chord (It IS displayed and played as one chord), where one note has a 4 
duration, and the others have a 2. duration. However, chords in lilypond can 
only be entered with one duration for all notes. That's due to lilypond's 
syntax and its parser.
So, his question is if it is possible to assign a different duration to one 
note of a chord. Or rather, (since we all know that you can do everything with 
lilypond) what is the easiest way to achive this.

Exactly. The half notes should be dotted, but the quarter note should also be 
part of the chord but not be dotted.... The latter is what this thread is all 
about.
