detail on wrapping tubers

Better get this off now as I had 'intentions' over the weekend but spent all my time getting the last of things inside as its supposed to be 23 out this am...
My dahlia tuberws are separated into 1-2 root sections with a piece of stem (couldn't see whre they 'eyes' were on many) and dusted. When wrapping with plastic or paper, do you wrap a bunch of roots together or wrap each one separately? after going to this much effort I'd just rather make sure of this last detail before putting them down into the cool sectkion of my basement.
Thanks,
will

I keep a clump, or part of a clump together, and split in the spring. It works. Even Bernie, thought so. I do believe though the secret is the fungicide, or bulb dust. I rarely lose a tuber.
