I'd leave them growing in the direction they're growing. Roots tend to favor the environment that they were previously in. That's why the ideal time to repot is when they are just emerging. The mass of air roots at the front of the plant may not be as long-lived as they would be if you had caught them as they were emerging, but they will keep the plant going until the next new crop. That plant is a root machine! But the fact that it is so healthy with roots in the air should tell you that you do need to keep the new environment airy. It's really better to water more often than to keep the mix too wet - as it dries, air is pulled into the root zone.
