The most straightforward way is to print it as a musicglyph inside a
markup, and for that you have to replace the time-signature-interface
with the text-interface:
\once \override Staff.TimeSignature #'stencil = #ly:text-interface::print
\once \override Staff.TimeSignature #'text = \markup \musicglyph #"timesig.C22"
\time 4/2
