| 4 bulbs is a good size, with 3 being minimum to not set the plant back. If the forward part is up in the air, repotting is probably a good idea. But, 2 important things.
One is that you generally should not repot a Catt until the new growth is just starting its new roots. This is when rooting hormones are high thru out the plant, and roots ruined by the repotting process will be replaced rapidly.
Second is the question of what will be left of the back part of the plant. Is there a new growth that will be left with the back section? If not, this section will be refered to as backbulbs, and how fast, and if it will progress, to a blooming plant again depends on strength of the older bulbs, if there are viable roots, and if there are viable eyes.
By the way, the method to keep the plant from climbing up is to pot the plant with the rhyzome horizontal at the top of the mix, irrespective of the way the pseudobulbs angle. After the plant has well rooted, you can pull the old psuedobulbs upright, and after a while they will take on a new set in the upright position. But early on you can train the new growth upright which will be easy to do as the new growth is fairly flexable. Good luck with your plant.
