You can write your own converter that truncates the string to a given maximal length

public class MaxStringConverter : IValueConverter
{
    public MaxStringConverter()
    {
        ReplaceChars = "...";
        MaxLenght = int.MaxValue;
    }

    public int MaxLength { get; set; }
    public string ReplaceChars { get; set; }

    public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, string culture)
    {
        string val = (string)value;
        int replaceCharLength = ReplaceChars.Length;
        if(val.Lenght > MaxLength )
        {
            int middle = val.Lenght / 2;
            int textLenth = MaxLength - 2 * replaceCharLength;
            string textToReturn = val.Substring(middle - replaceCharLength , textLenth);
            return string.Format("{1}{0}{1}", textToReturn, ReplaceChars);
        }
    }
}

Then use it as

<Window.Resources>
    <MaxStringConverter x:Key="MaxStringConverter" MaxLength=100/>
</Window.Resources>

<TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=MyText, Converter={StaticResource MaxStringConverter}}"/>
