In my experience, when you have a bulb that never flowers but just splits up, the best thing to do is leave it alone for a few years rather than repotting constantly. Flowering is sometimes thought to be a response to a "threat" to the parent plant's continued existence, and depletion of soil nutrients may be a trigger. In contrast, splitting up can be a response to predation by digging animals -- the more tiny corms are present, the more chance the plant can survive disturbance. I don't know about Ferraria in particular, but South African bulbs are quite subject to being dug up and eaten, e.g. by baboons.
