Christoph,
I found these link in the Simile mailing list archives which
describes how to modify the code to allow the timeline to grow as
required:
http://www.ajaxlab.com/timeline/index.html
http://limingxu.com/blogs/xu_web_chronicle/archive/2006/07/10/59.aspx
I've got a sort-of-working solution to having the timeline shrink
again if you pan away from the grouped events, but there's a few bugs
so once I get it working properly I'll try and fire it up into my
blog and post a link!

Thanks, but there's a misunderstanding here. I was talking about
vertical 'overflow' in the timeline as a whole, that is if there
are just too many events at a time that have to be displayed below
each other.
Since a band is essentially ad <div>, if I got that right, perhaps
it's an idea to give its style an overflow: auto attribute so that
there'll be a vertical scrollbar somewhere... going to look into that.

Christoph,
You could set the width of the event labels to be longer, e.g., see
this
line
theme.event.label.width = 250; // px
in this example
http://simile.mit.edu/timeline/examples/jfk/jfk.html
Other than that, no, there isn't a good way to deal with overflow
currently.
