E.E. are very hardy, as you probably know, and they multiply like crazy. Carefully separate the new bulbs so that you keep a root system on each of the new bulbs. When you plant each one, expect some immediate wilting, and the existing leaf may die, but new growth will soon appear. They can be separated.

My grandma digs them up every winter and replants the bulbs in the spring. You can separate the bulbs from the main plant. Elephant Ears like lots of water. I recommend planting them under an AC unit if you run your AC a lot. Sometimes when you think you've lost the plant it will start to sprout up and grow. My mom left one in the ground all winter long and it came up in the spring. Just give it lots of water and some time. Elephant Ears are pretty durable plants if they are watered regularly.
