Not that I know of.

I found that the max length of a file name before tab title is truncated 
is 40 characters. For example, if we open the following file, the tab 
title won't be truncated:

A very very very very long file name.txt

Now, if we open the following:

A very very very very very long file name.txt

it will be truncated:

A very very very ve...y long file name.txt
19 characters      ...20 characters

It may be a good idea to add an option in dconf to set the max length of 
a tab title. Maybe a bug report to fill here:
