You can reduce the font size of the detailTextLabel by setting the small font. You can set some different fonts too with different size.

cell.detailTextLabel.font = [UIFont systemFontOfSize:([UIFont systemFontSize]-2)];

Only to show first 5 characters of a string, do as follows:

NSString *text = @"Aktiviteter";
text = [text substringToIndex:5];
cell.detailTextLabel.text = text;

So, it would be look like

if (indexPath.row == 3) {
    cell.detailTextLabel.font = [UIFont systemFontOfSize:([UIFont systemFontSize]-2)];
    NSString *text = @"Aktiviteter";
    text = [text substringToIndex:5];
    cell.detailTextLabel.text = text;
}
