i think the smallest possible valid program on the 2600 is like 9 bytes, but it doesn't draw anything. with 14 they got a few static coloured pixels in a corner. don't know if they ever uploaded it.

Edit: there are nome 16-byte demos for the 2600 that fill the screen, so it makes sense that skipping that step would make it smaller.
