Excuse the image- but should I separate this dieffenbachia? Or leave it as it is?

It’s really as you wish. If you don’t like the look and find it too crowded, then you should split it.  
Other than that, you will just need to repot sooner since there is more plants and therefore, more roots.

It’s not too bad. Might not grow much more though. I’m so confused when I see others’ dieffenbachia - mine isn’t tall like that. More like the stems are curly and not straight up. Still puts out good leaves.
