i would make the cut and remove the three leafless pb....leaving the pb with the single leaf...to help feed d plant...as it has a leaf its photosynthesising a lot more than those old backbulbs....also keeping in following rules of thumb by leaving 4 to 6 pb per division to ensure a healthy plant.....but wud u sacrifice the extra energy that the pb with the leaf wud provide the main plant with for one or two "possible" growing buds?? if u really wanna neaten the plant and try to grow d backbulbs cut between pb 3 and not between pb 4 not pb4 and pb5...i wont sacrifice a viable pb to try to grow a "possible" dormant eye...when it is serving the main plant in a noble fashion...its not worth it...
