I planted some horseradish this year. The instructions said (IIRC) to
cut the roots into two inch chunks and plant these in a bucket (to
prevent it spreading like a weed). Then to dig it up this time of
year; use whatever you need for cooking and cur the rest into two inch
lengths ready to plant and start all over again.

Is this about right? What should I do with the ones to plant next
year? Put them in a cool, dark, dry place? When do I plant them next
year?

I've never grown it; don't like the stuff.
You are right that it will spread like a weed if allowed; see it along
hedgerows and grass verges.
I think that if you want to replant you should do it straight away, as
it is a hardy plant.
One thing I do know, after a question on Gardeners' Question Time some
while ago, is that you shoud make and eat your sauce when you want it,
and not try to keep it.
My s-i-l mixes it with Greek yogurt which makes it less fiery.
