Just go for it. Aloe vera plants are hard to kill so it should survive tranplanting without any trouble.

"The first thing to do is to knock the plant out of the pot. Pick away at the soil and find where the offset are attached to the "mother plant". Take a knife and cut it from the main plant. the offsets may have some roots attached. Set them aside without potting for a day or two to allow the cuts to callus over. Pot them in a standard potting mix. don't water. Put in a sunny location. In about a week or so you can start to resuem watering as needed to keep the soil on the dry side. As far as the main plant remove affected leaves , allow it to dry and callus and repot it in a separate pot handling just as the offsets."

Just do that, and minus the seperating the "pups" from the mother.

All succulents- aloe vera, cactus, etc.- are very hardy and very easy to transplant. Just stick them in soil and it should be fine.
to transplant just loosen the dirt from the old pot and keep as much of it around the roots as possible then put your new dirt into the new pot (about half way up ) then place the roots and plant into the new pot and fill the rest of the way up with new soli and water...Just break the piece you want to give away down as low to the stalk as you can and try to get the root and not let the gel out.
Have just given away loads of aloe vera "babies" to friends and they have all taken. One of the hardiest plants I know.
