Neither of those should stop LilyPond counting correctly (though it will warn 
about the 'strange time signature', and I'm not sure _exactly_ what you mean by 
"triplets with only two notes").

\version "2.14.1"
#(ly:set-option 'backend 'eps)

\header { tagline = ##f }
\layout { indent = 0.0\cm }

\score { 
  \new Staff \relative { 
   \set tupletSpannerDuration = #(ly:make-moment 1 8)
%   \override TupletNumber #'stencil = ##f
   \time 15/24 f8 \times 2/3 {c'16 c d e f8} 
    f8 \times 2/3 {e16 d c b c8} 
    a8 \times 2/3 {a16 f b a g g} f8  
    c'8 \times 2/3 {c16 d c b a8} 
    a8 \times 2/3 {c16 c b a g8} 
    a8 \times 2/3 {b16 a f a g g} f8 \bar"|." 
  }
}

To suppress the incessant triplet numbering, uncomment the override of the 
TupletNumber stencil.
