I using KODI 15 w/ nextpvr 3.4.8 using the networkrecorder plugin and I'm wondering if there is a setting in KODI to limit the amount of time it keeps a timeshift buffer TS file. I've been tuned to a channel for about 3 hours and the TS file is now about 23GB and climbing.

May I say +1?
I've already reported similar behaviour with the dvbviewer PVR add-on and it's on github as issue for that addon.
But on my setup there's a twist; I'm using a ramdisk.
What this means is that eventually, after 6GB in my case, it runs out of space and it just cuts back to the home screen.
That's a bit annoying, and I think I'm not the only one using a ramdisk rather than writing a 16Mbit stream continuously to a SSD for obvious reasons.
So there's my idea on why this really should be taken on/fixed or get more attention.

Well at least i have an answer to what happens... luckily i have a 250GB SSD, so i just allocated about 80GB to a 'live tv' partition... id rather the tv stop than the whole system
Well a SSD has limited write cycles so it might not be the best thing to do. That's why I'd rather go with the ramdisk option over the SSD option.
