For non-homogenous tables,  there is no reason to ever worry about how
big a table is -- GTK+ will add rows/columns as necessary automatically
and if you delete widgets, the unused rows/columns will have no effect.

Just delete the widgets that you don't want in the table any more.

For a homogenous table, resize() does have some effect, but you should
certainly remove any widgets in those rows/columns before resizing
smaller.
