It's exactly the same idea, keep notes that belong to the
same musical voice in the same Voice context. In your case,
the simplest method is to move "\new Voice" in front of the
{c2 r2}. (However, you have to be extra careful if you start
your <<...>> at the top of the piece, since LilyPond automatically
tries to create Voice contexts. You probably have to explicitly
say

\new Voice \relative c'' {
\time 4/4
<< \new Voice { c2 r2 } { e,4 f g <ees g bes>~ } >> |
<ees g bes>1 |
}
