I'm under the impression that whenever you decrement some value it's optimal to take it all the way down to 1. Therefore, you can go for a dynamic programming approach to solve the problem, where dp[i][flag] = largest possible answer for the i-th prefix and flag indicates if the last element stayed at his value or if he was reduced to 1.
