 Sure Thing , Many users of WordPress have a difficulty about the preferred
 excerpt length so my suggestion is to add a words counter ( like post
 content field ) and add a small tip shows the value of excerpt_length
 filter ..

 the_excerpt() displays the full value of excerpt field if it is provided
 by the author , but if the excerpt field is empty , then it print a custom
 length ( excerpt_length filter value ) of the post content .

 So my suggestion doesn't mean "limit the excerpt length in post edit UI"
 :)

 Sorry , If my English isn't very good :(
