It doesn't look so, because if I set ragged-last-bootom to false, the page is 
filled.
So I found a solution, but the problem is that I would like to increase the top 
margin now, because there's no space at all on the top of the paper, my printer 
seem to be able to print with no margin.

So I now there is plenty of space, but if I increase the margin, even by 1mm, 
it spans the staves on two pages.

For now I have:

\paper {
top-margin = 0\mm
bottom-margin = 0\mm
ragged-last-bottom = ##f
last-bottom-spacing #'basic-distance = #0
}
\layout {
\context {
\Lyrics
\override VerticalAxisGroup
#'nonstaff-nonstaff-spacing #'padding = #0
\override VerticalAxisGroup
#'nonstaff-relatedstaff-spacing #'padding = #0.5
\override VerticalAxisGroup
#'nonstaff-unrelatedstaff-spacing #'padding = #0
}
\context {
\ChordNames
\override VerticalAxisGroup
#'nonstaff-nonstaff-spacing #'padding = #0
\override VerticalAxisGroup
#'nonstaff-relatedstaff-spacing #'padding = #0.5
\override VerticalAxisGroup
#'nonstaff-unrelatedstaff-spacing #'padding = #0
}
}
