Its common to take cuttings in early flowering. Taking them later is no problem though and will not cause the plant to 'hermie' later 
Once rooted the cut will quickly revert to veg growth although you will still see a few pistils for a while as she grows out. You have nothing to worry about.

yeah its cool to do that.
the cuttings will probably be kinda fucked up at first though.
usually when flowering cuttings reveg, they go down in leaf numbers and then come back up.
for example, if your plants largest leaves have five fingers, all new growth will be three, then one, then back to three, then back to five, then to seven.
the growth has to revert allllll the way back to it's first stages of growth and then start over again.
hope that makes sense.
you'll see what i mean.

There is a direct correlation between unbalanced light cycles and plants turning hermie, what you are talking about isn't an unbalanced light cycle, so they shouldn't hermie.
If you take cuttings when the plant is flowering it's the same as revegging a flowered plant after you've harvested. The plant will be a little shook up for a day or two but will get right back into it's growing. All they need is some TLC.
Happy growing!

Yea, that's why i am interested in cutting them up- they'd probably best be served as donors.
