I reckon the \huge is only applying to the text block following, so the 
second line of XXs adopt the default header size, which is larger.

I also reckon Lily doesn't space header text very well with multiple lines 
from a center-column.  The following works around this for me:

\version "2.13.60"
  \header {
    title = \markup \center-column { "XXXXXXXXXXX" "XXXXXXXXX"  "-X-" " " }
    subtitle =\markup \center-column { "NNNN" "-N-" }
    subsubtitle = \markup \center-column { "ZZZZ" }
  }
\score { { a' b' c'' d'' } \layout { } }

Result is the same on 2.12
