Both the mother plant and keikis look good to me too. I agree that it doesn’t look like the keikis can be separated from one another, but they have well developed roots and could be potted up as a clump. You could even try rigging something to pot them in while leaving them attached to the mother plant so that they’re well established before you sever the connection.

I’d let the mother plant go ahead and flower. I haven’t had any Phalaenopsis bloom themselves to death. If they’re not healthy enough to support flowers mine blast the buds. If they do start producing a bud blasting it and then producing another bud and blasting it and so on, I will cut the spike at that point. Usually, however, Phalaenopsis are master multitaskers: producing new leaves, flowers, and roots simultaneously without missing a beat.
