You can repot a phal anytime you like without significant effect on the flowers - go for it!  As to where to cut your spike, if you want to encourage a brand new spike to form (potentially) in the next couple of months my advice would be to cut the current spike down at the base as close to the plant as possible. On a sidenote - some plants that are culturally happy and predisposed to do so will actually bloom on subspikes and send up new spikes simultanaeously, but this is the minority. If you want some additional flowers as soon as possible go ahead and let the current subspike develop as it will - the flowers will more than likely be less numerous than the original spike and potentially slightly smaller. You can leave the current spike as is and let nature take its course or clip the portion above the developing subspike. Enjoy! Mike
