Thanks for helping me think it through.
I will wait to see what develops in the patch and give all the plants a chance to get a good quality pair of leaves out and then separate the medium size and the big one. If the big one fails/chokes, etc. or doesn't put out enough leaves (less than four) before a flower then I will cut it back to about five feet or so and use it to power the little one to the finish line. If the big one puts out four leaves I will cut off the little one. I think that's a reasonable action plan.

You have a lot more stuff going on in your property and are at a different scale. I just have a little yard and plenty of time so micro-manage to the maximum. Haha.
