Rather than panic, this should return an error. Forcing a panic upon a calling program is bit jarring for the caller to deal with.

Adding a function here adds a bit of complexity when an if would suffice. Since MinInt isn't used anywhere else, I don't see that it adds much value at this time. Additionally, I'd have to go review the spec to see recall why 5 is subtracted from the MTU here. I suspect it is overhead related. Please add a const which clarifies the reason for the subtraction.
Suggestion:
maxLength := p.conn.TxMTU() - 5
for offset < len(v) {
length := len(v) - offset
if length > maxLength {
length = maxLength
}
value := v[offset:offset+length]
...

You could also avoid having to track offset just by advancing v:
maxLength := p.conn.TxMTU() - 5
for len(v) > 0 {
length := len(v)
if length > maxLength {
length = maxLength
}
...
v = v[length:]

If you are ok with my suggestion above, this function can be removed.
WriteLongCharacteristic was not implemented. Here is it implemented for linux, but I have not implemented it for darwin
This also fixes a but in PrepareWrite(), where the value had not been written.
This code was tested against a raspberry pi and a custom bluetooth device
