Default Root pruning

I've just obtained a very large plant of angraecum eburneum var giryamae in
bark in an old clay pot. Leaves over 2 foot across and thick aerial roots
spreading out about the same distance making for a lot of bench space. A
couple of long flower spikes are nearly over. Can the roots be pruned back
hard and some of the older marked leaves removed? Wondering also if it would
be OK to give it more drastic treatment - removing from pot/bark mix, root
pruning and re-establishing either in basket or new pot?
Thanks..........David
