Default Repotting kekis

Help, I am a beginner and very timid in this aspect of orchid culture.
I have a Phal. that has completed its blooming (gorgeous) and I noticed
2 keikis on 2 of the flower spikes. They each have firm green roots
but for one that is twisted and shrivled,but with a green tip. The
roots are aeriel and from 1 " to 4" or 5" long, on each keiki. My
question is ha many aspects. Can I remove these keikis and repot them
and how much of the spike do I remove with the keiki assuming I am
going to remove them? Help!! Do I bury the aeriel roots? A you can
tell, I am one scared dude here. In the natural world nothing is done
to the keikis so do I repot or leave alone?
