Have you tried \stopStaff \startStaff and

\layout {
 \context {
   \Staff \RemoveEmptyStaves
   \override VerticalAxisGroup #'remove-first = ##t
 }
}

===========================================

What about:

\layout {
 \context {
   \RemoveEmptyStaffContext
   \override VerticalAxisGroup #'remove-first = ##t
 }
}
