If this was my purchase, I would be jumping for joy! There is a lot of opportunity here. The colony, I would repot separately. The larger clump, it looks like it can probably be divided. You should carefully take the basket apart to free the roots. Often time, when I have such a clump, after I removed the plant from its pot/basket, it actually falls apart in clumps. If that happens, pot them up separately as well. If not, study the large clump, determine where you can divide--there are usually dead or decayed clumps in the center, so start there. Try to get at least three psuedobulbs in each division.
