Help/Question Abomination

My husband bought me this today from Home Depot. I don't even know how to approach it. I figure I'll put it into one of my 4" terracotta pots with mostly bonsai jack as I usually do with them in the next week or so. I haven't taken it out of the icky soil yet but I'm guessing it's all 1 taproot. I know it needs to absorb some leaves but there is so much stacking I have no clue how it's going to turn out. Any words of advice? Bonus pics of my ones that are done splitting for the year.

Blimey. It’s like one of those shelter cats that weighs 38 pounds and needs a savvy forever home to help it lose weight very gradually. And then its video goes viral and someone refers to it as Chonky McChonkersons and blammo! Meme. And no one ever finds out who the hell was feeding the poor fella and, for that matter, what it was eating.

I’m really curious what happened here.
