If usage of DOM parsing is not the aim and you need only trancate HTML — take a look at cot_string_truncate function in this Gist. It taken from Cotonti CMF.

It's processed plain text or HTML as well. You can set length and choose how to trancate text — exact characters by limit or by word nearest boundary.

It proper treats HTML entities and serial space characters as one (as it viewed in browser) — so your example should work well:

$test_str = "

    Test to be cut
Some text
";

echo cot_string_truncate($test_str, 8);

Result:

     Test to
