If 'Small Leaf' is anything like regular R. macrandra, it should branch
like crazy, sometimes from every internode if it is happy. The last time
I grew R. macrandra, I started with a 2-internode fragment that was
floating in a dealer's tank, and I had a jungle within a few months.
So, it is certainly possible to take cuttings and keep the bottom portion.
