Setup Vim to cut fold line after 80 characters

The display of folded lines can be customized by the foldtext setting. In your case you likely want to restrict the width of the text so you would need to write a custom function that does this. As an example consider my CustomFoldText() function (simply specify a maximum width via the g:custom_foldtext_max_width variable.)
