The correct syntax is \new Staff \with {...} ...
I recommend you to take a look at the corresponding part of
the manual for more information, see "9.1.3 Modifying context
plug-ins"

If you only want larger spacing between the score lines, you should
instead look at section "Vertical Spacing" and read about
betweensystemspacing. Note that you can also set the extent of each
separate Staff by setting the property like
\new Staff with {minimumVerticalExtent = #'(-6 . 6 ) } {
%The actual music
}


I did this:
\new StaffGroup <<
  \new Staff with { minimumVerticalExtent = #'(-6 . 6 ) } \violinouno
  \new Staff with { minimumVerticalExtent = #'(-6 . 6 ) } \violinodue
  \new Staff with { minimumVerticalExtent = #'(-6 . 6 ) } \viola
  \new Staff with { minimumVerticalExtent = #'(-6 . 6 ) } \violoncello

But then I get:
gaudeamus.ly:45:14: error: syntax error, unexpected STRING
  \new Staff
             with { minimumVerticalExtent = #'(-6 . 6 ) } \violinouno
gaudeamus.ly:34:0: error: errors found, ignoring music expression

I'm using lilypond 2.6.3

It seems that the minimumVerticalExtent redefined by
the lyrics gets summed to the global minimumVerticalExtent I set,
making a huge space (only for staves with lyrics, the other are ok).


Maybe there's a misunderstanding here since you say "global". You make the
setting for every Staff context (i.e. for every stave) in the score, so
in that sense
it's "global", but it doesn't apply to any other kind of contexts.

I set the minimumVerticalExtent in the \layout block:
\layout {
 indent = 2.0\cm
 \context {
  \Staff minimumVerticalExtent = #'(-6 . 6 )
 }
}

Thanks,
Rodolfo
