When I have overwintered peppers they tend to grow quite tall if the temps are high enough. I found that they will grow really slow if kept cool with sufficient light. It sounds like you need to move them to a spot that is not as warm if you want to keep them for that long indoors without the plants getting too tall. If you have room I would go ahead and put them in a slightly bigger pot and give them a little fertilizer low in nitrogen but high in trace elements. One thing you can do to keep them from getting too tall is to prune them back. The disadvantage of this is when they finally are put outside the plants tend to grow out more than up.
