I don't know much, but I would really reduce the folliage to compensate the root loss... I should maybe let it rest in water for the night, and then in the morning plant it, of course, I would be in the same situation than you, since I haven't done that either... And wouldn't know exactly how to proceed, all I can say is if you leave this guy as it appears in the pic, with the roots exposed to the sun, it might die, since exposed to the sun roots die pretty fast, so find some shad until other advices come...
About the styling I don't know if all will agree with me, but I would take 5 or so (perhaps more), trunks of different sizes, and cut off the rest to seek a clump style...
Well once I removed too much roots to a tree and gave it Thiamine for 2 weeks or so, and it did pretty great, I don't know if that would work for pines...
I don't believe this post is really helpful, but it's the best I can offer you, at least until other, more experienced members, post...
Good Luck
