African Violets and Gesneriads: AV Babies- Need Help Separating From Mom, 0 by GrowHappy

Here is a leaf I started in late May. I believe the babies have reached a size where they can be separated from mom, but someone please correct me if I'm wrong! My question is two fold:
1.) Do all of those little babies make up one new plant or do I have to separate each "ear" and make each one of them a new plant?

2.) What is the best way to separate them from the mom? Do I just grow continue growing them on in little solo cups until they get big enough for larger pot?

Thanks for any advice!
