Maybe something like

\version "2.13.7"

tsa = \markup {
  \override #'(baseline-skip . 0)
  \center-column {
    \concat {
      \number 3
      \raise #0.5 "+"
      \raise #1 \fontsize #-3 \number "1"
      \raise #0.5 \fontsize #1 "/"
      \fontsize #-3 \number "2"
    }
    \number 4
  }
}

music = {
  \once \override Staff.TimeSignature #'X-offset = #1.75
  \once \override Staff.TimeSignature #'style = #'default
  \once \override Staff.TimeSignature #'stencil = #(lambda (grob)
    (grob-interpret-markup grob tsa))
  \time 7/8 R8*7
}

\score { \music }

Hope this helps!
Kieren.
