I think it's better to line it up this way instead:
\markup { \line { one + \center-column { two num } + three} }

Well, the usual placement of "+" is on the middle line when all
the denominators are present, but if only one denominator is
there, the plus signs usually get centered between the numerators.

I meant specifically in this part of the code:

(#:line ((#:column (one num))
         #:vcenter "+"
         (#:column (two num))))

I was just spelling it out. You probably just figured it out
before reading that far.

Let me know once you get it.
