If you want to configure it through TS, following code will help.

plugin.tt_news.displayLatest.subheader_stdWrap {
  crop = 200 | ... | 1
  ifEmpty.field = bodytext
}

You use the same code for list (displayList instead of displayLatest)

Else it can be configured for each instance of the plugin through the flexform, 
Template, stdWrap.crop for the subheader.

WBR,
