Bushy Juniper

I bought this procumbens nana off the net a few days ago and it has very nice, small foliage and is currently growing in a large planter. As you can see in the pictures it is fairly low-growing with a large spread. I pulled the whole column out of the planter to take a look at its roots and it seems to have outgrown the container it's in. I was wondering if I should cut back on the roots or simply put it in an even bigger planter. I also have no idea on where to go with the style - I was originally going to go for a cascade of some kind as I was going to get a different tree, but ended up receiving this boxy one. A couple of the branches already hang off over the edge a bit and one in particular looks like it would be well suited as the lead but I am unsure of what to do. The way the tree has grown it almost looking I could seperate it and get more manageable trees out of it. There's a picture of the trunk formation so you can kind of understand what I mean, although it is not of superb quality. One branch is responsible for pretty much an entire side of the tree while the other is three branches growing out with only a few shoots.
