How about this? First two chords of Elgar cello concerto:

\relative c {
  \clef bass
  <<
    {
      \voiceOne
      <e b'>2
      <g e'>2
    }
    \new Voice {
      \voiceTwo
      <g, e'>16 s16 s8 s4
      <e b'>16 s16 s8 s4
    }
  >>
}

Basic idea is using multiple voices to represent the different chord
parts, and hiding rests by using the 's' spacer (invisible) rest. A
little clunky with quite a lot of syntactic cruft; I don't know
lilypond well enough to say if there's a better way of doing it.
