How can I do this in a more idiomatic, and less tedious way than the following?

Hi Andrew,

The following should be what you want. It works by setting the baseMoment to a theoretical value of 1/20 (that is, four fifths of a semiquaver, which is the duration of the two-demisemiquaver groups in your example).

\version "2.18.2"

\relative c'' {

  \set subdivideBeams = ##t

  \set baseMoment = #(ly:make-moment 1/20)

  \set beatStructure = #'(5)

  \tuplet 5/4 {

    e,32[ c' bes e d bes' g d' d, aes']

  }

}
