Probably Joey doesn't want to use \time 4/5 but to scale durations.
I adjusted your example a little bit so one sees better what happens:
{
\time 2/10
\times 4/5 { c'8 c'8 } \bar "||"
% \scaleDurations scales without tuplet numbers or brackets
\scaleDurations #'(4 . 5) { c'8 c'8 c'8 c'8 } \bar "||"
% I put a few bars of "straight" eighths to show what happens
c'8 c' c' c' c' c' c' c'
}
Best

The easiest way would be to create an override for the time signature stencil:
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.
