how do i repot a Oncidium

Today i got this orchid (id'd as Miltonidium Bartley Schwartz thanks to the geeks).
How do i get about repoting this one. I repotted Phals before, but never a species with these bulbs. I read on these forums about the medium (will probably be bark) needs to be filled to accommodate for the newest bulbs (are these the bulbs that are the highest?). On this plant there seems to be several "newest" bulbs, some currently up to 2 inches above the medium.
So basically how do i identify the new bulbs and how do i repot this plant.
(or do i split it up somehow so i can get all the "newest" bulbs with there "parents" in a separate pot)

I hope you can help;
Erik
