Although I agree with those that say to don't divide it, there might be a concern when not doing it. The medium tends to take more time to get dry, meaning it's decay process takes less time. The root mass thend to preserve humidity inside the medium so you should watering less frequently, I think.

I don't know what others have to say about this but that's what I can see by the examples I have at home.

A reasonable point too often overlooked. You always have to balance media, container and watering relative to each other and the environment. If the container size increases you need to make other changes to avoid a soggy center. There are many ways to do that.
