By default, LilyPond will only connect arpeggios between different staves,
but that's easy to fix, just add the corresponding engraver to the Staff
context
(see the example below). Also, you have to specify the \arpeggio in all
the voices,
otherwise there is no other arpeggio to connect to. The following
version of your
example should do it:
\version "2.8.0"
\new Staff \with {\consists "Span_arpeggio_engraver"}
\relative c'{
\set Staff.connectArpeggios = ##t %this is close but not quite
<< {ees4( \arpeggio d8 ees4 \arpeggio des8)} \\ {<bes ges>4.\arpeggio
<bes ges>\arpeggio} >>
}
