Eluze's example works --- with 2.17.25
For 2.16.2 you could use:
\version "2.16.2"
music = \relative c' { c d e f }
staffSize = #(define-scheme-function (parser location new-size) (number?)
#{
\with {
fontSize = #new-size
\override StaffSymbol #'staff-space = #(magstep new-size)
\override StaffSymbol #'thickness = #(magstep new-size)
}
#})
\new Staff \with { \staffSize #-16 } \music
\new Staff \with { \staffSize #16 } \music
> What would a "new-size" value of -16 mean?
Well, what does \fontsize #16 (#-16) do in \markup? Making it larger (smaller).
Here fontSize, 'staff-space and 'thickness of the lines are modified.
I feel I don't get the point of the question.

There were some discussions about layout-set-staff-size some time/years ago.
Can't find it right now.
