Using \combine seems the cleanest way by far.
You have two words that fit together in a special way, and putting them
together in a \combine makes that fitting relationship more clear than
having back-spacing commands in between.

You can shift with a \translate, rather than use spaces, if you like:

\markup 
   \combine
      \fontsize #16 "Ýkjur" 
      \translate #'(21 . -4) \fontsize #7 "(Extreme Measures)"
%% using just the default markup font
