Alstroemeria - dropped it out of its pot - all in bits - can I salvage?

Tiger orangey stunner - bought new and potted last year. Left outside in sheltered corner over winter - (I don't have shed or greenhouse etc) - thought I'd put in larger pot with fresh compost for this year. Then I dropped the pot- which didn't break - but the Alstoemeria fell apart and looks like a big pile of swollen tubers.
I know nothing about Alstroemeria. Can I pot the two bits which have foliage attached to tubers? Can the plant the other 'headless' tubers and hope for some growth at all/
I'm tempted to heave it in its entirety into the bin - but it was a beauty, and I've been an idiot.
What do you think folks?

Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit.
Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
Some of the 'just-tubers-no-foliage' might not take but I've certainly grown plants from tubers like that. The bits with foliage attached should certainly be potted up in individual pots (use an appropriate size - not too big - just big enough to take the tubers and allow a little room for growth).
You'll soon have several plants rather than just the one - you've just done an unintentional division.
They need a big pot each, they’d be better out in the garden once they’ve taken and started to grow in the pot. So, just one piece of roots in that blue pot.
