Check out the info on this very useful site http://www.clematis.hull.ac.uk/new-clemalphasearch.cfm That will give you an idea of the eventual sizes, but bear in mind that it will take a few years for them to reach that
I'd agree that you might as well leave them in their pots, but you could tidy away some of the weeds/dead leaves etc in them, and give them a little layer of fresh compost, then tuck them somewhere for the time being. If they're sitting on paving, and you get a lot of wet weather, it's useful to raise them off the ground so that they have adequate drainage. If it's the opposite, and you have very dry weather, just make sure they don't completely dry out, although at this time of year, there's usually enough moisture present in the air to prevent that.
It means you can spend any good days, getting your border ready, and fixing supports etc, ready for the clems to be planted
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
