Raising the spine a little is that much closer to jointing.

You may have so far to go you'll have time to try every suggestion.

It all depends on details, but I might joint the blade 5 strokes lightly to start(adding a few more if needed in the next round) and checking the full length and trying to move evenly. Then reset the bevel with tape and off hand pressure. Rise and repeat until the chips are gone or so few and small as to "not matter"
