Yes, you can just chop these pretty much wherever you want and they should grow a profusion of branchlets from an old branch node just below that point. Take your time in shortening it to where you want it to be though. Like you said EarthgirlOK, you can't fix a bad chop. I really like the texture in the bark that the older specimens have. I think this is a good choice for an experiment with non-traditional species!
Regards,
Zach
