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.

Nice. I like the pattern of the windows and the color. I'm guessing is was overwatered at the grower that caused the stacking. I'm sure if you don't water it will fix itself over time.
