You don't have to use 5 as the implicit figure:
Try:
\version "2.24.3"
extendOn = \bassFigureExtendersOn
extendOff = \bassFigureExtendersOff
\score {
\new StaffGroup <<
\new Staff = "violone" \with {
instrumentName = \markup {
\center-column { Violone, \line { e Cembalo. } }
}
}
{
\time 4/4
\clef bass
fis8 d8 e8 fis8 g8 g,4 g16 f
}
\new FiguredBass \with { implicitBassFigures = #'(0) }
%{if I set the implicitBass to 5, or other number, it works for the
whole passage%}
\figuremode {
\set figuredBassAlterationDirection = #RIGHT
\set figuredBassPlusDirection = #RIGHT
\override BassFigureAlignment.stacking-dir = #DOWN
<6 5->8 <0 4->8
\extendOn
% \set Staff.implicitBassFigures = #'(5)
%{if I set the implicitBass to 5, or other number, it DOES NOT do
anything%}
<0 3>4
\set Staff.implicitBassFigures = #'(0)
\extendOff <5 _+>8
<7>8 <6>8 <5>4
}
>>
}
