explicitly instantiating the voice would be
cadenza = \relative c' {
 c4 d8 << { \voiceOne e f g } \new Voice { \voiceTwo d4. } >>
 \oneVoice g4 f2 g4 g
}

\new GrandStaff <<
 \new Staff { \cadenza c'4 }
 \new Staff {
   #(ly:export (mmrest-of-length cadenza))
   c'4
 }
>>

I'm not a big fan, especially for something so short, because it's so  
much more typing.
