Those branches may end up extending more getting closer to the light source, and if they don't develop that much right away you can always harvest by sections, first the top, then the bottom after it had time to finish maturing.
But if for some reason you want to finish faster and have the free space for a start of a new grow it would PROBABLY benefit you more to lolipop like an extra node.
I'm divided on this one, its something that is up to the grower's judgment and instinct so my best answer would be to follow your instinct.
