Comment:

 I'd rather not set a precedent of creating a specific filter for
 excerpt_length every time we call `bp_create_excerpt()`.

 What we can do to make this easier for you is to pass the $group object
 along to the filter. So then you can do this:

 {{{
 function bbg_custom_group_description_excerpt( $excerpt, $group ) {
     $excerpt = bp_create_excerpt( $group->description, 100 );
 }
 add_filter( 'bp_get_group_description_length',
 'bbg_custom_group_description_excerpt', 10, 2 );
 }}}
