My default plan would be:

1. Check "use a different time signature for display".

2. Pick "composite" for the display time sig, and set it up as 6/8 + 3/4.

3. Under Document Options > Time Signature change the plus character to a fixed 
space. (I use opt-space on Mac, gives better spacing than an ordinary space; it 
shows as 202 on Finale's character chart.)

4. Then set up the parentheses as a text expression.

This work in most cases, though it can cause spacing difficulties if one falls 
at the end of the system.  It's also a problem if you need a real composite 
time signature with a plus elsewhere in the piece.
