Please keep the discussion on the mailing list, for the
benefit of yourself since you get access to the collected
expertise on the list and for the benefit of others who experience
similar problems. Feel free to quote my answer below if you wish.

As I said, the FigureBass does not have any preset vertical size by
default, so the limiting factor is the preset vertical size of the
Staff context that holds the base notes. I recommend that you
read chapter 4 of the manual from the top, then you will realize
that any property setting has to be done within the context it
applies to (or a context within that context).

If you still don't get it right, there's some more hints at the
bottom of the email, but I recommend that you try to figure it
out yourself first.

Something like
\context Staff {
   \set Staff.minimumVerticalExtent = #'(-6 . 0)
   ... % The base part
}
should work.
