Tomato Sproutlings
 
I have been able to germinate some 27 year old seeds. The radicle is about the length of a seed. I plan on planting the sproutlings to a soil less starting mixture. When should I do that?

You can do it now.

Yes do it now, the sooner the better.

Will do, Thanks

Out of about 50 seeds, this is the first one to germinate (5 days in moist paper towel) after bleach/water soak. I just noticed there is another one starting to sprout (9 days). So far, I guess not too bad for seeds over 25 years old.

Only need one plant to save seeds but hoping for a few more to ensure preserving the strain.

I wouldn't give up on more for a month or two. I just had seed sprout after being planted for a month.
