Sure :-)

Resize your group as big as you like*** and then (and this is the  
trick!) go to the
inspector, selct "Size and Position" for that group and check  
"Lockloc"...

That will make your group ALWAYS stay as big as you sized it.

Hope that helps...

***You can also use the message box/script:
set the rect of grp "Your group name here..." to the rect of this card
