The hardest ones to separate are when there's a whole clump stuck together- where it's hard to even count the eggs. Looks like these are mostly 2 or 3 together? And pretty "level"? so you still "might" be able to separate them as I described, but I've never done it this late, so I can't say how stuck they'll be. You might not be able to separate them, but personally (& because I've done it before so I'm comfortable with my method & the outcome) I'd probably at least try.
If you try a drip of water on the contact point between any 2 of them, you'll know pretty soon if it's going to work or not. As I described previously- I just roll them (holding one w/ left hand & one with right) slightly toward & then slightly away- if you see the contact point start to release with a drop or 2 of water, that's your cue to keep going. If not- oh well. I think many if not most ppl would just leave them be now & take their chances, but it's really up to you. Make sure you don't use too much water- only a drip at a time- since coating the eggs can "drown" them.
