I usually end up going at them with a big knife to cut them apart, as long
as there is a crown (Growing tip) with some roots attached they seem to grow
again with no problems.

Yes - if you don't they will probably split the pots by themselves (she said
speaking from experience!)

Cut or break apart and repot in fresh soil. I have supplied all my
friends/rellies with the offshoots over the years :~))

Yes. I am surprised they didn't split the pots already.

Choose chunks that have a couple of growing points and break at the
narrowest points. In a good year they will flower planted directly in
borders given a head start under glass. And with a free root run you get
a huge crop of tubers - difficult sometimes to dig out in one piece.
