Personally (though I'm not brilliant with these things), I'd use another 
voice which is filled with spaces and put a seperate crescendo in that, 
adding extra padding from the staff.  For example:

<<  { a4\< b\!\> c\! d e f\< g\!\> a\! } \\
    { \override DynamicLineSpanner #'staff-padding = 4
      s4\< s1 s2 s4\!} >>

Seems to be something along the times of what you want.  Hope this helps.
