Hi everyone.
Typesetting mensural music I often find double time signatures with a
single digit like C 3, O 3, and so on.
Is it possible modifying the standard double time signature syntax in
order
to have such a layout (second page)?

Assuming "C 3" is intended to mean "4+3/4", then you can use
\compoundMeter to set the time signature and then override its visual
appearance. Perhaps something like this:
%%%%
\version "2.19.82"
<< {
\override Staff.TimeSignature.stencil = #ly:text-interface::print
\override Staff.TimeSignature.text = \markup \concat {
\musicglyph "timesig.C44" \hspace #1
\lower #1 \musicglyph "three" }
\compoundMeter #'(4 3 4)
e'2 g'4 e' d' e'2
} >>
%%%%
Note that I used the "normal" time symbol "C" as opposed to the mensural
version. I think it looks better next to the numeric three, but you can
use any of the glyphs in the font. Or really whatever you want, since
you have the full power of markup there.
