This is a little bit funny, but it works almost equally well for the
case you show (and with fewer lines of code):
{
\time 6/8
<e' g' c''>8\arpeggio\pp\<[
<as' cs'' fs''>\arpeggio
<ef'' af'' c'''>\arpeggio
\ottava 1
* \override Staff.OttavaBracket.shorten-pair = #'(-6 . -0.6)
\set Staff.ottavation = #"8va "**
* <as'' cs''' fs'''>\arpeggio
<e''' g''' c''''>\arpeggio
<b''' e'''' g'''' b''''>]\mf\arpeggio \ottava 0
}
I found that you adjust the number of spaces after "8va" and then tweak
the first value of "shorten-pair" to match.
