Note I’m only talking here about the gallery descriptions on the gallery page. As BigRed noted, you are aiming at having one field support two functions: information on the gallery page and guidance in a navigation content block. In a navigation content block, I’m happy with chopping things off with an ellipsis after a line or two. Isn’t that what the old SM did? I'd be happy enough with a "sub-title" field for the navigation content block too (although I'm not sure I'd use it). But I’d be real unhappy if issues with the navigation function generated side effects limiting the current ability of the gallery page description to serve the context function.
I'm also a little concerned with having the single field serving two purposes...my preference would be to have a separate field to be used on the navigation pages and the longer gallery description only appearing on the gallery itself. It sounds like that is off the table.
