By coincidence you answered another question today that gave the decisive hint.
My problem was not the staff height, it was the empty space between the staves in the first line.
With an
\override Score.RemoveEmptyVerticalGroup #'remove-first = ##t
this problem can be solved and the first line is sized adequately.
