Default Repotting & Dividing a Pinguicula

Does anyone have any advice for Repotting and Dividing a Pinguicula.

Mine has four florets and hasn't been repotted in the 5 years I've had it. It really looks like it needs repotting as some of the florets are sitting way above the old compacted medium (not sure what it's in) and peering down between them I can see lots of roots on the surface.

What would you pot it in. Will Sphag be good to grow them in? I have a feeling I've read of people growing them in Sphag but not sure.

Do I leave the existing medium on the roots, or do I try and remove it like I would with an orchid?

Can I just gently pull apart the florets to divide it? I'm sure I've read that people divide these but again can someone confirm this.

Is there a time of year I should do this? Can it be done now?

For reference here is a picture of the plant. It used to be one much bigger floret, but after a winter rest the first year it's grown several but none have ever been as big as the original.
