Replacing those wire sections isn't exactly a guaranteed problem but making the replacement sections of wire larger doesn't provide any benefit or additional resilience unless you replace the whole run. Sure, that particular bit of wire won't start on fire but the problem is going to happen at the weakest link. The conductor will self heat more in the places with higher resistance. That could be damaged wire, a bad crimp, a poor connection, or just wire that's too small. Splices and connectors are each potential problems, adding more is a good way to lower reliability. Have a good crimp tool and adding a bunch of splices will work but it is a bandaid if the rest of the circuit is in questionable condition. If you strip the wire and still see corrosion, cut more wire off. If I was fixing up a car with the level of care you have shown so far, I would replace the entire conductor. And I'd be side eyeing every other wire super hard. It's 50 years old. Maybe it was the heater but I'd still feel better with wire that didn't melt from a heater.
