It's staying quite stout so I'm concerned it's going to look like a crowded mess or grow in a strange way if I let the pups grow. There's two. One in the photo and a single leaf on the opposite side. I would like it to look like a ball of pitchers, that would be cool. But if it's going to be a net negative I'll remove and attempt to grow them on their own. If this is the route I should take any advice on when?

It’s happy for now, wait until a few pitchers appear to repot
It’s basically just a branch. It’s not a separate plant.
No, I had a Gaya with 8 basal at once in a pot that size
That’s how Neoenthes are supposed to grow. As it gets bigger just move it to a larger pot. By the time those offsets are mature, the original stem will be a long vine, and you may want to cut it back—it’s up to you, but I never ever remove basal growths.
I let all my basals stay on the mother, but i like the crowded look. I want as many pitchers in a pot as possible
