Not a problem at all. the point is not to save all of the roots - it is to ease the plants apart with some of their roots and reward them with their own living space! I did that to 6000 seedlings this year (some were at 50 seedlings per cell)...and lost none! I've often been a bit rough and ended up with one with no roots. No worry - plant them deep in damp mix, and leave under the grow lights until it roots, which happens pretty quick.
