do not transplant any of them.. they might get stunted completely...!!
Keep them where they are, they have enough stored food for good blooms.. bulbous plants should never be disturbed during active growth.. the pot size for you glads is enough..

Just to make your understanding clear see the below from my last year Gardening photos, where 3 out of 4 glads have a weaker stem, they ultimately fell down.

This photo is of an ideal , healthy stem ! see one can easy tell from the stem of the glad that does it has enough energy to bloom or not ! a thin weak stem means no bloom and a healthy like in picture below means everything is OK.
