No, you don't need to be so complicated. :-)
Just put
\time 2/10
Lilypond will give you a _warning_ that this is a non-standard time
signature, but it can handle the time signature and will produce a
corresponding bar of two quintuplet-eighths in length.
N.B. you _will_ need to put in place
\times 4/5 {}
around the content of any such bar in order to ensure that quintuplets
are your base content type.
Try giving Lilypond the following:
{
\time 2/10
\times 4/5 { c'8 c'8 }
c'8 c'8
}
... and compare what happens in the first and second bar.
