Yes, you can cancel and restart. Migration Assistant will not duplicate items that have already have been transferred.
The fastest and surest way to use Migration is from your Time Machine backup disk plugged directly into your new Mac. Next best is an Ethernet connection to the older Mac. Wi-Fi is the least reliable method. It will take forever and often will not complete.
