Dividing a clump of Neofinetia falcata plants is easy. But it helps to do it at the right time of year. Your plant--if it's a typical falcata--should still be dormant at this time of year, especially if you've been keeping it cool, relatively dry and giving it as much direct sunlight as you can provide (to mimic its natural environment). I would wait until early spring, just before new roots are initiated, to divide it (which, for me this is usually around late March). Just carefully tease the plants apart, plant them up and they should be fine. It's a pretty resilient species, so it shouldn't react unfavorably to the division. That being said, the multiple-growth specimens are pretty impressive, and the only way to get them is to leave the plant alone while it forms multiple fans. And if you have a select variety, you might want to experiment on something that's cheaper (which there are plenty of hardy, easily obtained varieties available for). Good luck!
