If the flask is ready for potting up then it won't be a huge problem....

Yeah who did you get it from? There's one aussie nurseryman in Aus i know who almost always seems to sell his flasks with Phals that are too small to deflask, and which always jumble up in the post. Once bitten twice shy.
On the other hand another guy i get flasks from imports them and they're usually a good size, packed well and don't jumble up anyway.
Although sometimes they cut off the roots to replate them and you get them with no roots... they almost always die then.
But i think you'll get a few survivors Bolero, i've deflasked much smaller than that, and i got about 50% success, which is better than nothing. The media usually doesn't burn for at least a week or two anyway.
Orchid Flasks - the risk....
