Default Rhyncholaelia digbyana has outgrown mount

Greetings -
I am open to suggestions on this plant. One of the very first orchids I ever got, and this is absolutely the flower that made me want to grow an orchid.
The mount (I think it is still in there) is a slab of cork about 12" x 18"; the plant has covered the front and sides, and is growing onto the back. This makes displaying the flowers problematic. Wish I'd caught it before it turned the last few corners.
What would be some solutions to this? I really am relucant to divide it, because it is spectacular in bloom (twice yearly, once with a dozen or more flowers, the other time with half that), and because I'm afraid of effing it up trying.
Is there any way to get it to grow onto something else?
While I can still lift it?
Thanks - Nancy
p.s. yes, the dark patches are sunburn!
