Other people have commented on why the method didn't work.  I use this 
to improve visibilty:

\layout{
  \context { \Voice
    \override Glissando #'thickness = #3
    \override Glissando #'gap = #0.1
    \override Glissando #'breakable = ##f
  }
}

A while ago, I wondered about having a Glissando #'minimum-limit, just 
like
\override Staff.Hairpin #'minimum-length = #5
but a more general spacing method would be better.
