[exampleContinued] [location=serried, width=fit, distance=1em, text={Example~\headnumber[chapter].\nummer[example] (continued)},
warning: space gets eaten after \nummer[...]. I don't think that this is the expected behaviour, but it is the way it is.
before=\blank, after=\blank, number=no, style=italic]
You'll see that the example (continue) line is all garbled, with the first word (in this case "The") set in wrong type and also in the wrong place.
this is because \description takes one argument: \description{...}...\par {...} <text> ... <text> the "The" is taken (why not only the "T"??) as the argument. See cont-en?.pdf chapter 10.
I'm hoping someone can unravel the mess.
Most likely there is some more clever or elegant way. But probably too clever for me. Patrick
