Repot or not
These Lasiacantha seedlings are around 13-14 months, should i repot them or let them grow in these pots for some time too?

Re: Repot or not
Personally, I would but I’m sure there are others who say leave them for now.
Your choice!

Cactus seedlings seem to like growing in small clusters, I'd pot them into small clusters of three or four trying to keep them in clusters without too much root disturbance as they're split up.

Re: Repot or not
I was advised by an old seed hand .... wait until they are well overcrowded. Seedlings lose moisture from themselves and the compost around them and are less tolerant than mature plants, and the roots are more fragile and less tolerant of disturbance.
Endeavouring to grow Aylostera, Echinocereus, Echinopsis, Gymnocalycium, Matucana, Rebutia, and Sulcorebutia. Fallen out of love with Lithops and aggravated by Aeoniums.

I'd repot, or at least thin them out. In my experience, when they are this size and a bit crowded they will grow faster once given more root space.
