I got my epidendrum ellipticum from Andy's Orchids a few weeks back, with 4 spikes that were in bloom but have now stopped. Am I correct in assuming that I should NOT cut back the spikes?

I think it depends entirely on where you live and how you grow! My Ascda. Pine Rivers has been blooming continuously for about 2 years, but I live in South Louisiana. Encyclia (now Prosthechea) cochleata has been blooming without a break since early 2002 (but John LaRoche, the 'thief' in _The Orchid Thief_, referred to this flower as "a pitiful little thing." I disagree.)
Princess Mikasa blooms on every new leaf, ditto Ascda. Suksamran and several others.

Sorry for late response, but no, I haven't cut back mine until the whole stem turns brown. Mine spring forth with new spikelets after the main spike is done, plus the main spike seems to extend itself.
