(A little off-topic: this is a rather old version of LilyPond.  Current
stable is 2.16.2.  There have been many many improvements.)

I'm not clear on what you want here: do you mean that the stencil of a time
signature like 2/4 would be stretched horizontally so it occupies the same
space as a signature like 17/16, or do you mean that the following notes
would begin at the same position?
