The way I've done it is to make those notes quavers, and hide the flags
as well as the stems. Or for a subtler adjustment you could try using a
note value of "4*5/8", for instance. You can play with the values as
suits your layout. You should revert to crotchet length on the last
note of each group, of course. Example below.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\version "2.23.3"
\language "english"
\paper {
ragged-right = ##f
}
vINotes = \relative d' {
\clef "treble_8"
\key f \major
\override Staff.TimeSignature #'stencil = ##f
\cadenzaOn
\hide Stem \hide Flag
d c bf8( a4) bf8( c bf4) g f g \bar"|"
d' c bf4*5/8( a4) bf4*5/8( c bf4) g f g \bar"|"}
vIWords = \lyricmode {
me -- los da -- mus __ vo -- ci -- bus.
me -- los da -- mus __ vo -- ci -- bus.
}
\score {
<<
\new Voice = "vI" { \vINotes }
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "vI" { \vIWords }
>>
\layout {}
}
