When to divide Lilium pardalinum ssp. pitkinense?

Hello,

I recently purchased a Lilium pardalinum ssp. pitkinense from a local
botanical garden. There are two main shoots in the container. I also
noticed some small single leaves appearing at the base of the main shoots.
My question is whether these separate leaves are from bulblets/scales and
if so, when it is appropriate to divide them from the main bulb. I've read
that the scales are quite delicate, so I'm hesitant to dig them up to take
a look. Also, should I attempt to separate the smaller of the two main
shoots into its own container?
At the least, I plan to re-pot this soon as the container looks a little
too small.

I live in the East Bay of the San Francisco Bay Area, Zone 9. This is my
first bulb and my first post.

Thanks!
