It appears to be a 45° angle - if so you could use a wood miter box and hacksaw. You would need to square the part the holds the bars to the work surface at a 90° angle and clamp it down good. Another consideration is the threaded rod/screw that tightens the wedge. I assume it is only threaded on the end and not the full length so you need to plan for that with a shorter piece or a rethread.
I don't know how expensive this piece is, but if it has any value you should just take it to a machine shop where that can use a power band/hacksaw. It's a 30 minute job at the most (including having a smoke while the saw cuts it) If you know any metal workers you could also do it with a chop saw, but a band saw would be preferred IMHO.
