Default Advice for wrinkled Zygo pseudobulbs and repotting Beallarea

Yesterday was the orchid sale at the FPC here in Ohio! I managed to get 4 plants for the lovely price of $26.00! They aren't in too bad of a shape, either. They are beallara (this plant has 15 pseudobulbs!!!), burrageara, and zygopetalum (the fourth one didn't have a tag, but its pseudobulbs are a similar size and shape as the burr). I put them all under my T5's, so hopefully that should be sufficient lighting.


My questions are about the zygopetalum and the beallara. The zygo has very shrivelled pseudobulbs (I love zygos so I decided to take a chance on it), but there are new leaves growing in off of one of them. I immediately repotted it with a mix of 3/4 med fir bark and 1/4 spagnum and doused it with water when I got home. It was extremely root bound with lots of dead roots, but there were still some live ones amongst them. Will the pseudobulbs reinflate with water after a time, or is this plant likely to die?

The beallarea is also in desperate need of repotting since there are 15 pseudobulbs growing out of a tiny pot (some of them are growing off the side). I'm not sure how many groups to separate them into, since there are so many. The plant has 3 spikes with dying flowers each coming from separate pseudobulbs, (one still has a living bud on it) and many of the pseudobulbs have no leaves but are still green and very smooth (about 6 have leaves). What would be the best way to separate them?

Thanks for the help! I attached 2 pics as well, the first is the zygo the second is the bllra
