I think this should do (I can elaborate when I have more time):

\version "2.22.2"

\figures {
  \override BassFigureLine.staff-staff-spacing = #'((basic-distance . 0)
(minimum-distance . 1.6)
                                                    (padding . -inf.0)
(stretchability . 0))
  < f I \markup r >
}
