Well from what you're telling me you seem to be in good shape. If the roots are putting out growths your main concerns are just to follow the above indo. Water frequently allowing it to dry between watering, and don't put it in too much bright light for the time being. The less the stress the plant is under the better.

Does anyone know if there's a way to separate the healthier parts of the plant from the weaker parts?

Unless you're trimming off dead roots, the last thing you want to do is divide the plant as that is very stressing on the orchid...let alone its poor state now.

Just an update, the plant is is showing signs of improvement, leaves are filling back out, and there's signs of new growth, both roots and new leaves.

I would like to see the roots, better views of the pbulbs, and the condition of the media. This indeed looks neglected as in not enough light, a dry environment, and not enough water. But I need more information and more pics will give me that. Watering it too much could kill it and you wouldn't know it until it is too late. Caution on the water. These leaves probably won't come back as much as you'ld think given perfect conditions. I'd like to see the new growth. Good close pics. That is the key. The old pbulbs are mature and aren't going to change. The new growth will tell how to proceed. "Danger danger Will Robinson". Kodama Chocolate drop in any form is a beautifu plant. Let's go in the right direction and save this beauty.

Here's an update with the requested photos.
Roots, more dead ones were pruned today, I didn't prune off too much last time due to wanting to make sure I still had a stable base in the pot.
