Use the System / Component / Settings / Frontend Meta Information
The above is fine for the default site Shaver-Spares.co.uk but how do we amend the other domains within MultiSite, The example below is for tonersexpress.co.uk
-------------------New Meta Contents for---------------------
https://www.tonersexpress.co.uk
<title>Buy Cheap Toner & Printer Ink Cartridges Online UK</title>
<meta name="description" content="Toners Express - Buy Cheap Toner & Printer Ink Cartridges of Brother, Canon, Dell Laser Toner, Epson, Hewlett Packard, Kyocera, Lexmark, Minolta, OKI, Xerox & Samsung Brands."/>
<meta name="keywords" content="Cheap ink toner, Cheap printer toner, Cheap toner, Laser toners, Laser cartridges, Toner value pack, Toner value kit, Discount toner, Discount printer, toner, printer, ink, cartridges."/>

Is there a way to override core.metatitle so that it doesn't include the global site name when populated in the product offer level?
Currently both the front end meta title setting and site name are being appended to the meta title causing it to be way too long. I set an override for core.metatitle on one of my multisites to blank and it does eliminate the global front end meta title value but still includes the full site information name with is the website division of our full company name.
Can we exclude global site name from appending to the meta title value for a product offer and use core.metatitle override value for the website.com only to create a meta title within the allowable untruncated length such as the example below?
Product Meta Title 500/case 45R67 | MultiSite.com
I've been looking for an override setting so this can be controlled for each multisite if possible.
Thank you

This can be done via a code mod, however it is not recommended. The thing is, you're running multisite and the site name being appended to the meta title keeps the titles from site-to-site different. Different enough where you don't run into duplicate content/site issues with Google, etc.
SE's publish limits on meta titles, but there are no real limits to them. What you have is fine, and much better than stripping anything. Google publishes a limit which is equal to the number of characters they can display in a desktop-view of search results on a single line at a specific resolution. They accept longer titles - they just don't show the extra text. Hence what they call a limit. Same with all other SE's.
So I recommend leaving this be or you will cause issues, but you can mod {private}/core/CORE/includes/jslib.php to change the behavior, if you like.

Thank you for clarifying this Nick. We will just concentrate on what we want to show up to the limit now knowing that our meta titles won't be suppressed.
