I don’t really have answers to most of your questions, but here is a suggestion, I am fairly sure
would work:

Separate the corms, you want to give to your cousin, off right now, pot them and leave them sitting
right beside momma. When first frost threatens take them inside and place them close to a bright
window. After all, the plants are only 3 feet high and should not grow a whole lot from there between
now and November. Your cousin would have to look after them from then on until spring, when it will
be time to plant them into their “rightful spot". With low light conditions and short daylight hours
during winter the growth will be slow anyhow.
