This is probably a stoopid question but here goes! Last year I planted lots of leeks in old mushroom boxes, not just lots but way too many for my needs. I still have a boxful down at the allotment, they are just a bit bigger than the size of a pencil and look really healthy. Do you think they would be any good to plant out??

chances are they would rapidly go to seed.

Tiny ones can still be used - wonderful steamed then served with vinaigrette!

I was afraid that may have been the answer. Thanks for your help. Onward ever onward troops!!!

You could plant a few and let them go to seed on purpose.  Collect the seed (if they're F1s they won't be true to type, but that won't matter), then sow lots to get the fashionable infanticide seedlings for salads.
