How can I adjust (if possible) such property in a markup block?

I wonder whether you’re using the wrong symbol, and using the correct
one might help a little. Your code is using the degree sign “°” U+B0,
when by context this should probably be the masculine ordinal indicator
“º” U+BA.
(Some fonts display this symbol as a superscript “o” like “ᵒ”; some add
an underline to it like “̵ᵒ”; some add an underdot that I can’t easily
imitate by abusing other Unicode characters; and your source material is
using a full-stop “.” kerned in pretty tightly.)
I’m also pretty sure this is a font with old-style figures, where the
numeral “1” looks like a small-caps “ɪ”; and so the v’s should be
lower-case.
So the actual text should be “vº1º” & “vº2º” or “v.º1.º” & “v.º2.º”:
{
c''1^\markup {
\override #'(font-name . "TeX Gyre Schola")
\override #'(font-features . ("onum"))
{ "vº1º2º" }
}
c''^\markup \concat {
\override #'(font-name . "TeX Gyre Termes")
\override #'(font-features . ("onum"))
{ "v." \hspace #-0.4 "º" "1." \hspace #-0.6 "º" "2." \hspace #-0.6
"º" }
}
}
