D.O. ----- depending on the media used, and size of media pieces (eg. scoria/lava rock), there can be some flexibility.
When I use big piece scoria, I generally have the option of arranging the upper layer pieces in any way I want. Eg. some profiling of the surface landscape.

If your orchid happens to be sprouting new roots in the two halves that you're planning to divide ...... then that should be pretty much ok.
It's probably best to divide during healthy/strong times. But then again, dividing is a choice - so it could be divided at any time. The colony strength (undivided) allows for resource/energy sharing. So if possible, and if good growing conditions are maintained from now on ------ a choice can be to not divide for the moment, and let the orchid build up roots and get strong again. And then divide - later.
