I don't think they will. Once growth has divided, it has divided. I've never seen a plant with a split or 'runny' top cola begin to form more lumpy colas on top. Sorry to be the bearer.

By the way, on a side note, you were right about the coco baskets. Roots are beginning to come out the bottom, but the plants are pretty content in them... am I going to have problems because of this?

The biggest problem is if roots begin to knit with the roots of nearby plants or if they continue to grow significantly outside your pots. If you move the plant, the roots may be torn off, giving you something like transplant shock (wilting, slow development, etc). Roots inside a plastic pot are a lot harder to physically damage. Plastic pots have a few drain holes that roots may poke out of, but the pot will stop much root formation outside the pot.
