If you get it to grow please let me know. Mine is not doing much of anything.
I was told to break it up to smaller clumps and plant an inch or so apart. After planting cut the grass down low this will force the roots to send out runners when it grows in you should get that carpet affect.
divide the hairgrass into thick pencil diameter plugs. Cut the tops to 3/4-1" from roots and plant with tweezers evenly apart. It takes it about a month to aclimate then you will see new growth and it will start to spread. Here is picture of my 90p with Eleocharis acicularis.
you could also as kim said pull it to thin plugs then plant with tweezers, and do the dry start method. it a way where you just fill the tank with just enough water to cover the substrate. the dry start will help the hair grass to build it's roots and spread. then you can flood tank. some people try to plant hair grass and it floats, that's why people do dry start.

Do I have to divide them or will they still grow if I have them in plugs of about 1 by 1 inches?

It will still grow, but it will grow and spread much faster if you divide it into smaller sections. I know it sounds like a lot of work, but you will get better results this way.
