Some background:
I've had this plant since about 2021, 2022.
It's been about one year since my repotting it into this current pot.
I've been seeing some lightening in the leaves, with some yellowing and close to falling off.
It grew a lot over the summer, with new leaves.
It gets a lot of sun, and it's close to the window.
It might be affected by the autumnal cold, which I like with my windows open.
Should I repot it into a bigger pot?
And if I repot it, should I separate the trunks (there are four) into something like two by two?
Thanks! I want this to keep growing and growing and surviving and thriving.

YES
If you repot do not bury deeper to cover those exposed roots! FLF need their root flare and lateral support roots exposed/very close to the surface to uptake oxygen and for strength
Look at the bottom, are roots coming out of the drainage holes? Does water go straight through when you water it? If not, no need to repot. Air roots are fine and don’t necessarily mean the plant needs repotting.
Ficus put out aerial roots for stability. Don’t bury these, they’re not a sign of need for repotting. If when you pull the plant out of its pot the roots are heavily circling the outside of the soil, then yes repot. But do not bury anything that wasn’t already below soil.
