if you wish to cut to get more plantlets, it`s better to wait until the plantlets are bigger and most established.

Actually I am prefer your answer.
Because I don't know how to do cutting.

I needed to repot it because I just got it from nursery yesterday and it faced some worm/insect attack. For it and other CPs, the medium must be replace ASAP.

You can cut the stem about 1 cm above the 2 new shoots and repot this as a plant. The upper stems can be cut into segments of 2 leaf per cutting. You can check out the article/archive section under this board. I have an article there on how to do cuttings with nepenthes.
