Can this cereus (Queen of the Night) be saved?

I have a cereus cactus that is about five feet tall with five arms (? not sure if that is what they are called). It does not seem to be doing well, likely because it has not been outside as much as it needs to be - it is at least 15 years old. I am considering repotting it and pruning off the parts of three arms that look most tired - they are a paler, browish green and seem hollow and dried - and repotting or rooting the parts that seem more vibrant.

Can anyone advise on if this would be helpful and how to best do this?

We will be moving to CA so it will have a much happier place to live than its current home in Central Iowa where it has suffered for the past three years.
