Should I take more roots? Repotting Phal

I am following the step by step instructions for repotting an orchid. I will plan to soak this in peroxide, since most of the root mess happens to be in the center of the plant.

I bought this orchid a few months ago at a local nursery. I do not know if he had ANY idea what he was talking about - He stated that this orchid would be fine for a few more years in this pot. The roots begain to overflow the pot, I assumed it needed to be repotted.

Question:
Do I need to take more roots off of this orchid? It seems to be a lot I have already taken.

I plan to fertilize this orchid on a weekly basis. I am repotting in bark, with decorative marbles on the bottom... (the small clear ones) - I washed the pot and marbles... also soaked those in peroxide.

The bark did sit overnight in water...

Thanks for the help!
