Yes. You should "score" the top of the phyllo dough after you have layered it on top of the spiniach mix. To score you simple cut the dough until you hit the filling, in the desired shapes. You do not need to cut through the bottom layer of the dough as the weight of the filling prevents the phyllo dough from rising too much and losing shape. If you cut after baking you risk craking the dough and crushing the top layers which looks unappealing and difficult to serve.

After baking you will have each poriton ready to be cut completely and served.

I hope this helps.
