You can use a non-printed bass extender.

%%%% Snippet

\version "2.15.26"


\score {
  <<
    \new Staff \relative c, {
      \clef bass
      c c c c |
    }
    \new FiguredBass \figuremode {
      \bassFigureExtendersOn
      \override FiguredBass.BassFigureContinuation #'stencil = ##f
      <_+ 8>2 <_+ 7>
      \revert FiguredBass.BassFigureContinuation #'stencil
      \bassFigureExtendersOff
    }
  >>
}

%%%% End of snippet
