Welcome to the site!

Because it is a long whip, you could pretty much do anything with it. You could wire up the main trunk, mash it down into a more interesting shape, and wire out all the secondary branches so you have an informal upright.

Or, you could turn it on its side, wire the long branch as a descending trunk, wire the short branch as the apex, and turn it into a cascade.

Or, you could remove the short branch, wire the long branch into an interesting shape, remove the bottom 75% of foliage, and turn it into a bunjin.

It is really a blank canvas that you could do anything with.
