To elaborate:(1) You first have to calculate the maximum permissible pixel height of the echo area window from the character height of the frame where you intend to display the completions and the value of `max-mini-window-height' height as specified for that frame. Note that for a minibuffer-less frame the echo area window may appear on another frame whose character height you have to use here.(2) You then have to calculate the pixel height of each completion line as if it were shown in the echo area window mentioned in (1) using `window-text-pixel-size' and add it to some cumulative height until you have exhausted the maximum permissible height calculated in (1).
If you can live with the fact that the last visible completion candidate is not fully displayed (which is, as Eli said, consistent with what happens in other Emacs windows), this complex procedure is not necessary anymore. You can simply set redisplay-adhoc-scroll-in-resize-mini-windows to nil and insert "enough" completion candidates. Emacs will resize the window appropriately, and the last completion candidates will not be visible.
