Too long?? Most routers have a bed that goes up and down to allow you to set a cutting depth, explain what jig you have and what you are trying to do and I may be able to help...

Right I have a 12mm jig/ template and want the depth of the channel to be 5mm the cutting edge only has to be 7mm then the bearing above this blade will have to sit against the jig edge.... hard to explain
I'll see if i can throw a little diagram together

I see, what i would do is fix a bit of 18mm(or whatever you need to loose the extra depth) under your template so you can get a tidy 5mm cutter protrusion, if you have 12mm template you have some adjustment there as the bearing is usually about 5mm so a 35mm cutter would work for you...

the smallest cutters i have like this are 20mm in length.... as allready said can you not raise the template up by using some batton..... normally i use a collet on my routers instead of bearing cutters.....

batons won't work you need a bit of MDF of similar the same size as the template, I have template laser cut in steel to use a 30mm collect but if you have a 1:1 template you can use teh cutter shown, you just need to use a bit of scrap sheet to space it out, personaly I would mark the shet with template and then jig-saw/freehand route it a bit bigger than the cut lines so the sheet isn't heating up the cutter, when you do this you MUST have either good extraction of blow compressed air into the cut line to stop the bit clogging up with dust....

when i rebate cabs i use an 18mm straight cutting bit then use a 30mm guide bush to to keep the cutter centered in the 30mm channel on the template. 
I find using bearings on templates over and over the messes up the template.
I always do a dry fit on a piece of scrap mdf just to make sure the template is true.
You'll probably need a new jig tho if you  have an 18mm profile on your jig

like the diagram below

Ive been making jigs tonight.

Used a 10mm bit with a 30mm guide bush but have been making jigs for handles and connector plates and top hats.

I would agree with johnatron for rebaiting. 

using bits with bearings I've found fatigue your jugs rather quickly.
