Phalaenopsis with visable roots

Hello all, I am very new to Orchids - bought my first ones Tuesday at a sale to benefit breast cancer but have admired them for years. My question is, several of the new plants (I bought 6) have roots extending over and out of the "pots" (plastic cups) that they are growing in. Does that indicate that when they finish blooming I should repot them? If so, then if a plant has just one root should it still be repotted or does it need to have several out and over the plant?

I will try to answer most of my questions via reading the old posts so as not to be asking the same things over and over. I run a Rose forum over on Delphi and I know that reading old posts is often where the best information can be found.
