Best way to store large tubers

A landscaper that I grew a bunch of A. californias and calidoras (persian palm) in the spring saved the plants for me when they dug them up this week, and now that I have these massive things, I am trying to figure out the best way of saving them until I pot them up to grow out in January. There are a lot that are huge bunches that I think that I can pull the smaller tubers away, and they seem manageable to either pot or dry out, but the main stems are really large....
I guess what I would like to know is what is the best way to deal with these plants-anyone have any pros or cons to potting them up right now or should they be allowed to dry out and go dormant for 2 months? And if so, whats the best way to do that?
Here are some pictures on what I am talking about.

Heres a picture of a New Guinea Gold- I think I would need a 5 gallon to pot it up. I put a gallon cont next to it so you guys could see how large they are.
Thanks in advance for any info or suggestions, I need it!

Oooohhhh, someone tell me where to get one of those NEW GUINEA GOLDs. Are they hardy in the top of zone 8 ???

Take a look at this thread from a year ago which talks about storage of EE.

thanks Rox for the thread. It was helpful. I started to just pot up the small tubers after ripping them off the larger ones. There are so many of them! I guess reading that thread, that they do not have to go through dormancy.
