The way I've done it is to make those notes quavers, and hide the flags as well as the stems. Or for a subtler adjustment you could try using a note value of "4*5/8", for instance. You can play with the values as suits your layout. You should revert to crotchet length on the last note of each group, of course. Example below.

Paul

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

\version "2.23.3"

\language "english"

\paper {

ragged-right = ##f

}

vINotes = \relative d' {

\clef "treble_8"

\key f \major

\override Staff.TimeSignature #'stencil = ##f

\cadenzaOn

\hide Stem \hide Flag

d c bf8( a4) bf8( c bf4) g f g \bar"|"

d' c bf4*5/8( a4) bf4*5/8( c bf4) g f g \bar"|"}

vIWords = \lyricmode {

me -- los da -- mus __ vo -- ci -- bus.

}

\score {

\new Voice = "vI" { \vINotes }

\new Lyrics \lyricsto "vI" { \vIWords }

\layout {}

}

Is it possible in Lilypond to make the distance/space between two or three notes above a syllable smaller?
In the example see the slurs g(bes) and bes(c bes) with 2 or 3 notes.
\version "2.18.2"
eenVoice = \relative c'' {\key bes \major
   \cadenzaOn   % zet barlines uit
   \override Staff.TimeSignature #'stencil = ##f
   \hide Stem
   d,4 f g f g (bes) bes^- bes (c bes) a g^- \bar":|."
}
verseOne = \lyricmode {
    O -- ver heel de aar -- de klinkt hun roep.
}
\score {
<<
    \new Voice = "one" {
    \eenVoice
}
    \new Lyrics \lyricsto "one"{
    \verseOne
}
>>
}
