My first attempt (and surely yours also) was to try just a spacing 
figure, i.e. an underscore in the input, but it didn't work. However, 
the following seems to work:

\version "2.14.1"

\score{
<<
\new Staff \relative c, {
    \clef bass
    c c c c |
  }
\new FiguredBass \figuremode{
<_+ 8>2 <\markup \vspace #.75 7>
  }
>>
}
