| It looks like a hybrid with Brassavola nodosa as a parent, or grandparent. To determine if a division can be taken, you really need someone knowledgeable to look at the pattern of growth on the bark slab. Is there an orchid society handy, or an orchid nursery you could drive to? A real expert grower could tell you which piece could be removed without damaging the original plant, and still have the best chance of survival. The plant looks big enough that a decent piece should be removable.
Take a sterilized cutting tool with you.
