Mine was in a large 5 gal container. I cut the rootball to the size I wanted with a shovel and repotted it in a smaller container(?3 gal maybe) with new soil. Now it will take up less room and will have some room to grow new roots.
It is my opinion that, if you cut from the top, you should cut an equal amount from the roots to keep the plant in balance.
I grow in hydro year 'round and these plants were cut back to see how far a chile could be cut back.
