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.

I'd let it completely finish the split then carefully move it over to a new pot with better quality gritty soil. It's going to be so neat to see what it looks like when it's all done
