what you have is called a keiki which is hawaiian for baby plant. Let it grow until the roots are about 2-3 inches and then you can cut it off and repot the new plant.

Why buck your success. Leave the plant until the new flowers are done in about 4 months and repot it then. Phanaenopsis are the one orchid that can be repotted while it is in flower, but you are not in a position where you have to report so wait. The big fleshy roots of a Phal can easily be cracked when repotting. This needs to be avoided as it can induce rot and cause the plant to drop its flowers. Waiting is easier.
