You can set the distance between the staffs by setting (I think)
Staff.minimumVerticalExtent. If you make this smaller, I would suppose you can
make the two systems fit on the same page. It's documented in section
10.1.6 in the manual 
(http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.7/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond/Vertical-spacing.html).
