What has been done is done and you can not change it. I would cut off the bottoms of the pots and place them where you want them to grow. After they were placed, I would carefully cut the sides with a sharp scissors and remove as much of the pot as I could. Then I would fill in around the seedling with the new mix. If I have the room, I always plant into the largest pot that is available in order for the plant to have maximum growth. I would not wish to constrict the roots using a small or same size pot. Allow those roots to grow and grow. Also transplanting your plants is stressful on them and sets them back to some degree. I try to keep re potting to a minimum. I go from seed starting cell to small pot for 2-3 weeks and then into permanent home. Do not allow them to grow in these pots for very long.
