These shoots are new growth off the old roots - if you want to split them, you'd need to make sure each piece had some good roots attached to it, and this may not be possible. Left in situ, any shoots which arise will continue to grow, and will eventually form stems, at which point you may decide to remove one or two for aesthetic purposes, or you might decide to leave them all in place.
