Macrocentra said: I've done this a few times with success, but all were using younger pads. Do older, woodier pads sprout roots as easily as younger, softer pads?
I usually bury one of their longer ends and easily get roots.
I think it's likely. However, most of my observations are with the opuntia native here and if it weren't native, it would be considered invasive. A woody piece of O. quimilo is what sprouted new growth after I thought the plant had been killed by too cold temps.

I get mostly fails when I try to put them upright. But laying on the surface sideways has never failed. No idea on the woody parts.
The golden rule: Do to others only that which you would have done to you.

Try to be more valuable than a bad example.
