In such situation you should look into the IR (Internals Reference).
If you go to
lilypond.org → Documentation →
Internals → Backend → All layout objects
you can see the following list
...
BassFigure
BassFigureAlignment
BassFigureAlignmentPositioning
BassFigureBracket
BassFigureContinuation <---
BassFigureLine
...
If you now look up the available properties of
`BassFigureContinuation` you will eventually find `Y-offset`, so try,
for example
```
\version "2.24.4"
<<
\relative c' { \clef bass b, cis }
\new FiguredBass {
\figuremode {
\override BassFigureContinuation.Y-offset = #-1
<_>4 \bassFigureExtendersOn
<_>4
}
}
>>
```
to move the line down, independently of bass figures.
However, this looks like an XY question. What are you actually trying
to achieve? Why do you want to move the continuation line vertically?
