TileGroup and other containers should resize according to the default set of rules, which is that when given percentage sizes, they will default to trying not to shrink below the measured size of their content. If you want them to shrink below that measured size, the simplest thing is to determine what other minimum size you want (even zero) and set minWidth and minHeight accordingly.
