Mine were shorter than that but had roots coming out the bottom of the modules and they transplanted fine, though the module cells were smaller than yours. As long as the root ball stays intact when you start pulling them out, it should be fine. I like for the compost to dry out a bit first otherwise it tends to fall apart. Plant them deeper so they don't flap around in the wind so much.

I wouldnt plant them out yet.
When you lift them out they are going to fall apart.
They need to grow sturdier first.
And when your back stops aching,
And your hands begin to harden.
You will find yourself a partner,
In the glory of the garden.

I'd wait. I tried on Friday to plant out some leeks that looked like that, it didn't go well. So I'll be leaving the rest for a few more weeks. There were a few roots sticking out the bottom, but actually that was all the roots there were and they just fell apart as soon as they came out the module.
