I personally would not repot just before the plant is going into the winter season, and the additional shock could be damaging, though NOT fatal.
Keep them on the dry side and clean up all ugly leaves
I store corms with the pseudo stems cut back to about 1/3 of the present size and place them in a coolish, dry room with little to no light. This forces dormancy. Any watering during this time is not a good idea as mold and fungus will thrive with that little bit of watering during dormancy.
Treat you banana corms as perennial bulbs ---dry--- and cool in a dark place until ready to plant.
Best of Luck!
