Comment:

 I've update the patch for trunk, and made it filterable. You can use it
 like so:

 {{{
 function myplugin_bp_adminbar_blogs_menu_blogs_count( $blogs_count ) {
         if ( (int) $blogs_count > 5)
                 $blogs['count'] = 4;

         return $blogs['count'];
 }
 add_filter( 'bp_adminbar_blogs_menu_blogs_count',
 'myplugin_bp_adminbar_blogs_menu_blogs_count' );
 }}}

 You would add this code to your bp-custom.php, functions.php, or put it in
 a plugin.

 Caveat - While fixing this, I realized this could end up causing problems,
 which would the require a more elaborate fix. In johnbillion's case, this
 would only show the first ten blogs ordered by blog id. What if a user's
 most visited blog was #11 on the list? That user would then have to take
 an extra step to get to that blog. Granted, there are ways around that
 issue, like adding a bookmark in the browser, but it's still an extra
 step. Maybe this won't be a big deal, since johnbillion's case seems like
 a fringe case, which is why I went ahead with updating the patch ;).
