I measured the root system, it’s over 4ft long! Should I cut some of the roots back?

Are you having issues with the plant?

Not really, more so worrying over her being comfortable in her new pot

I would only go two inches wider than the root ball. You can always buy a deeper pot and still keep the same size width. If the pot is too big you risk root rot happening super fast :)
