I went ahead and hacked it up today. I had a surprising number of takers on Facebook for cuttings. I have a bin of leaves and green bits left over that I am not sure what to do with. I may move the original jade to a better draining soil after it recovers a bit.

Good chopping...the mix looks very wet - be careful, it would be shame to loose such a mature plant to root rot.

Cuttings could have been left to callus for a day or few - again, be careful with water. Fresh cuts can easily rot.

Anything with a fresh cut is basically in dry perlite, so I am hoping it will be OK. I was afraid that if I didn't get them in pots right away or would be months before I got around to it. :) I did water the original just before the picture but it hadn't been repotted or anything and hadn't been watered for about 1 month prior. Do you think it will be ok?

Just watch it closely, they recover from under-watering better than from over-watering. And make sure that 'drip' pan is empty of water.
Are the cuts on original plant green? What you don't want to see is blackening - sign of rot. As long as it is healthy, it should callus in short time.
I use cinnamon powder on large cuts since it is a natural fungicide.
Btw, cuttings survive very long time without being potted, even months.
I wouldn't water them for a while since rootless plant can't take water in, if it sits in wet soil it may start rotting.

No black anywhere and I did dust with cinnamon. I will keep an eye on it and retrim and let sit out if it goes bed
