I'm pretty much a novice with bananas, but if your banana(s) are going to go dormant at all, I'd hold off dividing until the weather warms up next spring. I feel like the risk of infection would be elevated if the roots were necessarily cut just prior to dormancy. If you're going to keep it warm and growing somewhere, I think the risk would be a lot less.
Good luck!
