I only have a few sprigs and they're doing well. I've isolated them into their own container. Could I cut them when they've gotten longer and place it into more spots in the container to grow more? If I can how long/big should I wait for them to get before I can make a safe division?

When your sprigs are no less than a few centimeters long, then you can start trimming them. Any shorter, and the viability drops a bit.
How long that would take doesn't really matter, so long as you don't attempt to cut them as fresh buds.

Then it seems, I have a bit of waiting to do.

I started another container with 4 sprigs on top of dried LFS, and the entire surface is green with algae.

darn you algae.

How far from the light do you guys placed? Mine seems getting burns on the newly grown tip.
