Thank you for your response, it got me hunting around some more and this works:
\version "2.16" VoiceI = { a a } BassFiguresLine = \figuremode { \once \override Staff.BassFigureAlignmentPositioning #'Y-offset = #'15.0 < 6 4>4 < 5 4>4 } \score { \new Staff << \context Staff \BassFiguresLine \new Voice \VoiceI >> } I think this is enough for my purpose, though I would be intrigued to know if a tweak is possible to move a single figure as well.
