Because of the extreme legginess, I'd take every main branch down to one or two leaf pairs on each secondary branch of that main branch and hope for a lot of back budding.

I think I am way to scared to do that... I didn't even feel comfortable cutting down to this much. My lack of experience is rearing its evil head.

Okay, well how much thicker do you want the trunk to be? If the answer is "much thicker", then just leave it be and let it grow.
