Apparently it's normal for indeterminates to do that. It's my first time growing an indeterminate tomato as I'm growing indoors. I've never seen this kind of thing. What's the best procedure for quickest yield/productivity here? Right now I'm allowing suckers to set a single flower cluster and remove the 2 suckers that want to come out of there, so I'm assuming I keep doing the same thing?

Wouldn’t say it’s normal.
It is something that happens more frequently with some varieties.
I’ve never seen that before and I almost exclusively grow indeterminates. Looks kind of cool but I think I would trim it.
I’ve seen this many times both indoors and outside. I think it would take a pretty large experiment to determine whether pruning or not increases speed and/or yield. I usually prune them but I’m typically only growing 2-4 tops on indeterminates. Especially indoors.
I get that a lot with my cherry tomatoes. That’s how I get a mangled mass of I don’t prune.
