Can I plant multiple offsets together?

I have 4 snake plant offsets from the same plant. Should I pot them separately or together? I would rather have 1 fuller snake plant then 4 single shoots in separate pots but if they are potted together will their rhizomes interfere with each other? If it's cool to plant them together how much room would you leave between each one and how much room between the shoots and the pot?

Thanks in advance!!!

The answer is YES. Any way you like them. Roots will find their own way around. Myself, I love the look of a mother plant with many young ones all around her. Even growing in mass, they seem to do better when together. I do remove many pups from my plants but those are for giving away to friends here. The ones I leave on do so much better and grow so much nicer. The mother plant does seem to grow taller and nicer when de-pupped often. Pups take several years to recover from it.

We love pictures here, (hint).
