Repotting cactus help!

How should I repot this cactus that has overgrown the pot? Should i take away the big cactus part in the center and keep the smaller parts or should I keep the big cactus part and take away some the smaller ones? Any advice will be helpful!

Use gloves

Co-doc misidentified this! It's a Spiny Pincushion, not an Opuntia. Pruning the top as suggested would decapitate and scar it. Triage: * Don't Prune: It's a columnar cactus; cutting the tip stops growth. * Support: Use a wider pot and stakes to fix the leaning. * Light: Move to your brightest window; it's stretching for sun. * Repotting: Use heavy gloves or newspaper to handle spines safely. Want a guide on how to repot without getting pricked?
