Yes, my intention to keep them together is to have a clump of flowers.

Does that mean two, separate clusters of plants, or was it two fans on one plant to start?

If it is a single colony sharing resources via rhizomes, definitely keep it as one. If it is two, smaller colonies sharing a pot, you're better off separating them, if for no other reason that they are "backups" for each other in case of a health issue.

I have a smaller Leeanum, but I have a Paph NItens (P. insigne x villosum) that tends to hang together and is on its way to becoming a specimen (though it has a ways to go to be like the plant that it came from that wasn't repotted for years.. by a friend... because it was too big to lift) When it was finally repotted the piece I got just fell off... but these P. insigne primaries can get really big... when repotting, if a piece falls off, pot it separate as a backup. But if it doesn't fall apart naturally, it's capable of having many attached growths.

There are two separate clusters of plants.
That's one thing to consider.

It seems I have 5 plants in the pot. I have 5 spikes for the 2nd year in a row.

As far as I’m concerned, each “colony” - clusters of growths connected by rhizomes - can be considered to be one plant.

Sure, they can be broken into individuals, but this is a case where there is - literally - “strength in numbers”.
