I have never grafted a jade before but I don't see a reason they wouldn't be amenable to grafting. I would imagine the easiest way to do it would be to thread graft a long rooted cutting.
These plants are tough. The jade in my post suffered severe damage after a large piece of timber fell on it while building my display area. the main first branch was broken and was attached by a thread of living tissue. I placed it on an "orthopedic" aparatus (vet wrap with some wire) and it healed completely in about 8 months. I used some wood stain and painted over the scar and, voila, it is barely noticeable.
