In my experience (somewhat limited, but I try to follow the advice of Dutchlady and other Wise Ones), you could have five plants from this one. Cutting each branch off as you suggest (about six inches from the three-way main fork), will give you three, cutting about 12 inches below the main fork will give you another one, and the "stump" ought to do fine, branching again at or near the cut top.

I did this with a very similar, more awkward plant, and though I haven't seen blooms on the cutting yet, they all look healthy and well rooted so I am confident I will.

some pics follow, starting with the gangly starting point...
