I'd do something like:

%%%%

#(set-global-staff-size 14)

\layout {
  \context {
    \Staff
    \type "Engraver_group"
    \name "SoloStaff"
    \alias Staff
                \remove "Time_signature_engraver"
    \override VerticalAxisGroup #'minimum-Y-extent = #'(-8 . 8)
    \override StaffSymbol #'thickness = #1.5
    \override StaffSymbol #'staff-space = #1.5
    fontSize = #3
  }
  \context {
    \StaffGroup
    \accepts "SoloStaff"
  }
}


\new StaffGroup <<
  \new Staff a1
  \new Staff a1
  \new Staff a1
  \new SoloStaff a1
  \new Staff a1
  \new Staff a1
  \new Staff a1
>>
