Default Phalanopsis Orchid repotting concerns...

So, I told my grandmother about my new interest in orchids and she told me about her phalanopsis. It's been growing in the same pot for over 4 years. For the first three years she had steady blooming and for the past year it's just grown, and grown---out of it's own pot and creeping into the neighboring pots trying to 'escape' as she said. But no blooms---which she's been disappointed about.

If I recall, the orchid is growing in a 6" terracotta pot---she wants to repot it, and I'm wondering if doing it now would have adversed effects? She really wants to get it to bloom again and I thought maybe repotting it would help.

I'll get a full idea of what's happening with it, in a few days/week. Take some photos? Maybe that would help?

I've never seen a bigger than 6" orchid pot, is it possible that the orchid could be divided into two pots?
Would orchid soil be ok for it?
Any suggestions?

Thanks.
