This an old annoyance [1]. 

You could try using my besideCN and replaceCN. 
See stencilCN.ly for recent code and a demo. 
Make sure you update it to your lilypond version. [2]

Two examples:

You can try appending dashes as in ".9/[a  -  -" , 
but these overrides can't make them spread out  
automatically as a proper spanner would do it. 


Cheers,
