Which menu style are you using/ If you are using the Windows 7 style, there is a "Minimum menu height" setting on the Main Menu tab. You can reduce it so even with less or no recent apps, the menu will be shorter. Note that if you reduce the minimum height, you naturally see less search results too.
If this is not what you mean by "huge gap at the bottom", please show a screenshot.
