Default Moving a Red Robin

My brother has dug up a Red Robin today
The shrub is about 6 ft high by 6 ft wide.
He is transplanting it,
it has lost some large roots
but has retained quite a few small roots.
I told him to reduce the shrub which has 6
large stems to 4 stems and the rest of the
plant by around 25%.
I know it's best to prune Red Robins in late Spring,
but, do you think this information will work ?
