Ok, since the property is called minimum-length, of course the greater 
value wins - the
note heads are spaced wide enough so that the greater amount of 
#'minimum-length
fits between. The shorter glissando line will be expanded appropriately...

Thinking about it, I think that the default bounds are too big for 
tablature.

Have a look at

http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.13/Documentation/internals/glissando

In #'bound-details, the padding is set to 1.5 * staff-space, and because 
the staff-space in tablature is
1.5 times the normal space, the glissando lines are way too far away 
from the fret numbers.
Setting these to 1 will improve the output.

\once \override TabVoice.Glissando #'bound-details  = #'((right 
(attach-dir . 0) (padding . 1)) (left (attach-dir . 0) (padding . 1)))
a''2 \glissando e'
