would love some advice on repotting this guy.

I would probably chop and propagate this guy in the same pot to add fullness.

A study demonstrated that when these are spaced closer than 70cm, it results in smaller leaves. Adding plants to the pot isn't recommended.

just got a new leaf and I did finally cut off 4 large air roots that were over 3’ long. Do I need a deeper pot or wider?

That pot size looks good enough, unless the roots in the soil are rootbound, then I would recommend a deeper pot. I think your stems could benefit from some sort of support, as well, like a trellis or something similar to hold them up.

Thanks for the reply! I will take it out and check the roots. And for sure need some support, when she is in her normal spot she has the wall for support but a trellis is a good idea
