My mom gifted this 'Kalanchoe Silver Spoons' to me and it needs some tlc

Question

She's not the best at picking healthy looking plants, but her heart is in the right place. My mom got this for me because she liked the way it looked. I didn't have the heart to tell her the poor thing was screaming for help. I gave her a good drink when I got her home because the whole plant slid right out of the pot when I tried to pull my moisture stick out. Got a good look at the roots. They have started to wrap around the outside of the soil where it meets the pot(u know what I mean). I'm aware it needs more sun. I have it in my south facing bedroom window. It's the only south window I have(as you can see by how crowded it is already). I fully intend to chop and prop, but should I go ahead and repot first so the roots of the mama plant can continue to spread out? Or chop first and leave the mama plant in the store bought soil for now? It's from Earl May garden center, so not nearly as neglected as a walmart succulent would be, but still in pretty rough shape. I already have a few leaves that I pulled from the soil that were already trying to root, so I grabbed those out and put them on my baby plate. Any and all advice on where to start and how to go about it would be great. This is the first Kalanchoe I've ever had, and I'm still really new to plants in general. 😊

I agree with @PlantJedi. I’d also add some plant food solution to the soil or water you use. Sometimes the soil has lost its nutrients so it’s reached max growth.
