The top one is plum size and the other grape sized. I would expect them at the base. Can they be twisted off at this size?

Ideally, you'd want to wait until the offsets reach 1" in diameter before attempting propagation. However, once they do reach this size, you can either twist them off or use a clean knife or shears to cut them off. Regardless of which method you choose, hold off on planting the cuttings for at least a week to allow the cut ends to callous over.
