The only safe solution is to drink it all now.
My advice: keep an eye on it.
A couple weeks ago I took a whiff in one of my pumidor drawers and didn't like what met my nose ... smelled like mildew or something. I emptied both offending drawers, spread the contents out, and gave it a couple days to dry out. After wringing my hands and pacing the floor and sniffing many more times, I decided that the smell did come from the cakes but from copy paper on which I often print out a page or two from the vendor's website or put together a Word doc with vendor photo, description, etc. Six months of sitting in a 70% to 75% RH environment seemed too much for the copy paper and it was starting to smell like vaguely moist, old paper. I now store the printouts separately from the puerh. The wrappers, tong bags, etc. don't seem to be bothered by the humidity. They didn't have the smell.
