I’m considering repotting my Crassula to larger pot (it’s currently in a 2” pot). But the next size up available is a 4” pot. My questions are:  
1\) should I just fill the 4” halfway full of soil so as to not be an excessive amount for the size plant?  
2\) or do I just leave it in the 2” pot for a while longer? It’s getting top heavy.  
3\) or what’s advised?

The 4in is fine as long as you've got the right cactus and succulent soil.

I do! I have a cactus/succulent soil plus perlite to add to it.

Great then perfect!!

Just be careful with your watering, made that mistake and it root-rotted, lol.

That’s a 6 inch pot. ☺️ you can still repot with it though.

Put some gravel in the bottom, and then cactus mix. The gravel will improve drainage even more and help reduce the odds of root rot
