Just means the plant is happy. I vote to just leave 'em be....they're not harming anything or draining the main plant of nutrients. They are all connected underground which is dissimilar to normal plant-plant competition. It's just a multi-stem single plant, essentially.

And just to clarify something you wrote in the first post...the plant does not die after it gets done fruiting. That pseudostem will die back, yes, but the plant as a whole (corm and pups) will continue to keep growing to produce subsequent bunches of fruit.
