When I plant rotting corm pieces from variegated bananas this is how I do it and why.
I use a large pot because it's easier to maintain a consistent environment.
I plant deep because it's easier to maintain a consistent environment below the surface.
I plant deep because I know a rotting corm piece has the tendency to continue to rot and by planting deep the growing point will leave the rotting corm piece and relocate to a higher level.
In the second photo that has some of the sand removed, there is a small white root visible. This is significant because the growing point is always above the highest root and now it's well out of range of any negative impact if the rotting corm piece completely rots.

Some people focus on growing it faster than it's rotting and they can be successful.
Some people focus on mitigating the rotting and they are usually more successful.
