Bonsai is a terrific art form in many respects. One, is that you can determine how tall you wish your tree to be.
Some of us have a maximum tree size that we can handle and this pretty well sets the general idea of where the first branch goes.
However, with various techniques a tree can be allowed to become taller and new apices developed or shorter tree can be created via a trunk chop.
So, it all depends on what you want.
