Replacing nested coolant hose

I don't know for sure, but from that picture it looks to me like you could release the clips, cut that hose & twist it off with needlenose pliers without removing anything & then a new one would be reasonably easy to fit, being new & flexible. Just make sure the hose clips are put on the centre of it first & perhaps clean the stubs up with emery paper &/or smear a little silicone sealer inside the hose ends first to make it slide on better.
