I would let them get bigger before seperating them. Maybe 2-3 foot tall.

I would move it, because you can damage the roots.
The pups should be grow up to half a meter before separating them. They will be stronger an grow faster.

First of all Parkeey, why do you want to separate the pups from the mother? If you are tight on space, I would move the whole bunch before even thinking about separating them. If you are not, I wouldn't separate them at all. Too many folks think they have to separate the pups and move them to get a nice mat. Let me be the one to tell you, you will get a much larger and healthier mat a lot quicker if you leave them to grow on their own.
If they are in a semi shaded spot, I would move them to a more sunnier location and water them like there is no tomorrow. Within no time, you will have a large mat, (like at least 100 sq.ft. within a couple of years, depending on where you are located and how much you water and fert them.) Best of luck in whatever you decide....

In three years, they will look like this. This mat started with three tissue cultured plants no higher than 8 inches! You may even get bananas if you have patience!
