Don't be tentative - just prune/trim/thin it. It will tolerate it just fine.

Thanks Al,I haven't had this plant long(excuse the pun),so I didn't know what to expect from it,I took some cuttings off it,and they rooted so easy,but it just continues to grow and grow in length,and its outgrowing the space,I'll have to have another pruning session.

Plants are usually much more resilient than we give them credit for. Through bonsai, I've gained a feel for how aggressively you can treat a plant based on the level of vitality and stored energy. Plants that are growing well and in good health will tolerate even severe mechanical manipulations. They would hardly even notice the hair-cut you would be administering.
