This works with 2.17.23. I think the syntax is ok for 2.16.2.

\version "2.16.2"
\layout {
  indent=0\mm
  ragged-right = ##t
  \context {
    \Score
      \override StaffGrouper #'staffgroup-staff-spacing =
      #'((basic-distance . 11)
         (padding . -10)
         (stretchability . 0))
  }
}
