You are getting some good advice here, but it's always good to have a consensus.
1. That's a very nice, large plant! I know it looks like it's hurting, but it looks more natural than any other one I've seen. It's basically a ceramic mount (that potting media is long since decomposed). That being said, it really would benefit from repotting.
2. I also agree that its fun to divide it up to share/trade, but you want to keep a nice big chunk for yourself. You are in for some LONG and TEDIOUS work ahead of you as these guys get really tangled up. I would try as much as possible to preserve the huge specimen size as best you can too. There will definitely be some chunks that break off or fall off. If you need more divisions than this, look for loose pieces towards the edge to keep the mama big.
3. Pre-soaking will help repotting a lot. A little KLN/ST in the soak wouldn't hurt, but it's not necessary. Is it ever really necessary? Well, that's on another thread.
I'd let the wounds heal too, by drying out. Isurus is right about the drought tolerance.
4. As for the spike, these are winter bloomers, flowering once the water is reduced. This one may be flowering just because it's been kept thirsty. I'd go ahead and repot it anyway. It's always a shock, but these are a very resilient bunch (I'd bet you get tons of flowers around December). In a pot with fresh medium and good water, they'll go crazy. Use you KLN then.

Now that is cool! Good work on scoring that massive plant! 
If I were you, I would divide up the plant by first claiming the very healthy, happy looking, large clump around the flower spike as your own!! I would then put that clump in a large basket with large wood chips (it works for me, but you probably have your own fav media). I would then chop up the rest in a way that you can keep the clumps of live pseudobulbs together and toss the rest. From the fourth pic, I think I can see 5 clumps that I would use, in addition to your giant, healthy clump. Next, find four or five of your friends who have a plant you want to trade for and go for it! You could probably even get away with not potting the extra clumps when you trade. That will give your friends a chance to pot/mount/whatever as they please. Nodosa's are great plants to try new things with, so people often do!! Do, however, send 
when you eventually figure out your plan of attack. 
Here is the update on dividing the wonderful mess. 
This morning as you can see in the 2 pics below it came apart in 6 pieces. Now there are more since cleaning them gave me several smaller pieces of 5/6 psudobulbs. I mounted 2 so far and in a couple days will work some moss into the back. There were no roots growing in the old medium. That thing was everywhere but IN the pot. I still have to decide how to deal with the large section with the spike. Mount...Pot...Mount...Pot
