Jade plants are natural bonsai - if grown under proper conditions, they never need pruning. If you remove one or more plants, you will have plants with huge holes were their pot mates were growing. The multiple plants form one canopy, just as a grouping of trees forms one canopy. Take one out, you lose that forever.
Pruning to remove unwanted branches or cross through branches is all it needs. If you feel the need for more plants, new ones will grow from something as small as one leaf.
You paid a lot of money for this plant. I don't think you were seeing what you could do to it as soon as you got home as part of the purchase.
