My dd is a level 6 at a YMCA team in NY. Two weeks ago she competed in her second USAG meet and actually placed( so proud) she has been performing a level 7 floor routine all season (1:30 5 a's, 3 b's) recently the decision was made to shorten the routine by 15 seconds to avoid the .1 deduction. In my opinion if that was done for scoring purposes then the whole routine should be paired down to avoid further deductions. Should I let it go or talk to the coaches?

Let it go!! I do YMCA too - it is meant to be a little more fun (at least for us it is). If your DD wants to do a little bit of a harder routine (probably meaning 'cooler' skills), then she should go for it. If at a USAG meet she wants to water it down a little, then that is between her coaches and her. I would say to try and stay out of it if possible
