Louis is correct. Depends what your objective is. I butcher, ahem, I mean "divide" some of my monster specimen Catts every year to make divisions to sell on the co-op table at our show. It makes more room on my benches so gives me the space and the free cash flow to buy different ones although I always keep a big division for myself.
When you get in there you can cut out any old, dead pseudobulbs or ones that have lost the leaf. Technically you should be able to get the latter to sprout new growths if you know what you're doing but when you have that much to work with, it's really not worth the effort in my opinion.
Also, you really should only do this during periods of new growth. I'm in the subtropics so mine are always in grow mode but if you live further north you probably should wait until you see new growth starting in the spring.
