It doesnt take a lot to sun damage these. Mine has been in a western window and with the large amount of snow that would never go away...the sun reflected and the rest is history. I tried to root some of these pieces and they where too stressed. I think you need 4 segments to get it to bloom, a segment can grow pretty fast maybe half dozen before xmas? It would be nice if others could chime in but maybe we need to go to the succulent/cactus forum for help. Anyway portions of mine were taken back to 3 segments total. (I twist them off carefully) Parts on it have grown addtl 2-3 segments in the last few months. New growth also from base portions of the plant. Is your plant very old and woody, (round edges) or like the Truncata (pointed)?
