T. pachanoi "P.C." "San Pedro".
That's a great deal for $20!
I'd split them up and repot them in some good cactus soil...
Give them some fertz.
They will take off in the summer!

Leave them be while they are dormant. Now is not the time to repot them or fert them. Wait till late winter or early spring.

Stress them. Scrath them up. Ignore them. Things of that nature.(increases potency if that what your into)
Also since your have other cacti graft a top of a faster growing cactus to make them grow quicker

You know I used to tell people to stress their cacti...
BUT....
You should ONLY stress your cacti just before harvest...
Not their whole lives!

Gee Golly? What's that you said, buddy? 
Peyote grow slow.
Trichocereus species grow fast.
Trichocereus species are used as grafting stocks.
Peyote is grafted.

so, when the time is right, would it be beneficial to separate the four columns into separate containers?

Yes it would be beneficial, it would give them more rootspace and available nutrients.

i would do it this week anyway, just said "when the time is right" so people wouldn't say for me to wait till spring or whatnot.
so i shall do it asap. my 2 other pedros are pupping and the pups are fast.
so is there going to be one big mess of a rootball in the pot?
if so, gently separate them?

You can cut the root ball with a knife, they will grow new roots...
It may even be connected by flesh which you have to cut...
If you have to cut flesh, allow it to callouse for a week before repotting it.
What kind of soil are you planning on useing?
I have a good recipe...
Cactus Soil-
Sifted and Washed Coarse Sand Coarse Pumice Coarse Perlite Rich completely decomposed Loam A small amount of Cactus fertilizer
Instructions- Once all the ingredients are mixed bake the soil at 500F for one hour.
Organic Cactus Fertilizer-
Composted Tea Wood Ashes Composted Leafs Horse, Goat, Cow or Sheep Manure Gypsum (small amounts) Bonemeal Ground Hoof and Horn (small amounts) Urine Earthworm Castings Bat GuanoLake or River Silt Crushed Quartz Fish meal (small amounts) Seaweed meal Crushed Sea-Shells Crushed Limestone (small amounts) Cactus Clippings- skin, spines, etc. Coarse River Sand Crushed Pumice Coco Coir Live Worms
Instructions- Allow all the material to compost in a container for 3-7 months.
Notes- Study what trace elements and minerals exist in each species habitats and add them accordingly.
