Default Orchid Re-pot

Hello,

I have a phalaenopsis orchid that desperately needs re-potting. It is
almost horizontal and the pot is very unstable. It has been flowering
continuously for about 14 months, so I thought I would wait until the
flowers start to die, cut off the shoot at the base and re-pot.

BUT, in the last few weeks it has produced another flower shoot which is
growing rapidly and the aerial roots have gone mad, shooting everywhere,
both new ones and from existing ones.

So, should I just be patient and hope it does not fall off the window
sill or can I re-pot whilst it is actively growing?
