I couldn't possibly thinking of chopping any of these trunks. If this would be mine I would keep all the trunks. I would move the middle trunk closer to the left trunk and space the smaller trunk further away from the other two. In fact it almost looks like a five trunk clump. If you are worried about the root then I would take the clump out of the bonsai pot and plant in a well draining soil mix burried and with spagnum moss packed around the base of the clump. In a year or two this will fix your root problem.

I would really hate to see you chop any of these trunks.

Here is what I imagine.
