That would not be something I would expect LilyPond to do.  I sounds 
like a job for some kind of script or just the replace function of 
whatever editor you are using.  First replace all of the smallest 
duration (32, 16, 8, etc.) with half of that duration and then do it for 
the duration twice that long, etc.
