The dominance submissive behaviour is stressful - I agree separate them now. One day it can be a bit of squabbling and the next day you can find a seriously maimed hamster or a dead hamster. They will do fine separately. You'll need another cage asap. If you have a plastic storage bin like an Ikea Samla bin (the 78cm one) that would do as a temporary cage with the lid off, until you can get another cage or make a bin cage.
