I’d say a repot with fresh soil. See if you need to separate them out. Add a moss pole once you’ve sorted through and got them settled into their new home.

I think the first thing I’d do is soak that root ball in a bucket of water. That poor thing is so hydrophobic. Once it’s soaked through thoroughly I’d try to get all the old soil off, determine how many plants you actually have, and pot each one in its own pot that’s no more than 1-2” larger than the root ball with a chunky aroid mix.
