I wait until at least one set of real leaves emerge, sometimes a few. These are really blossom together so waiting too long could hurt the roots when you try to separate. I would just wait and then clip all but the best one.

When you can see roots in the holes in the bottom of the cup
I grew using cups too. Clear ones though. This is what the bell pepper plants looked like when I transplanted them to their permanent homes – a 5-gallon grow bag for each one.
You may want to thin yours out to one plant per cup like I did.
Unless you want to “pot each one up” or separate them out to grow before transplanting them to their permanent homes.
I like the least amount of handling as possible because disturbing their roots when potting them stresses me out. So I just let one plant grow per cup.
