Well, the durations of the first voice then simply are _wrong_.  If you
want them to merge with the second voice, you need to scale them to
fit.  I've not put this into shortest terms so that one can still figure
out that the scales come from a mismatch of a 5/6 to 7/8 division and
1/6 to 1/8.  But you could equally well write

c8..*20/21[ c32*4/3]

in the first voice.  Who said that music and mathematics are different
things?

\version "2.19.3"
{
  \relative c'' {
  \time2/8
  <<
  {
    c8..*5/6*8/7[ c32*1/6*8/1]
  }
  \\
  {
    \tuplet 3/2 8 {
    c,16 e g e g c
    }
  }
  >>
  }
}
