Too much lees?

I’ve just racked my second batch of mead into what I hoped would be the vessel I’d age it in, (see photos) but unfortunately I overestimated the size of the batch.

I thought I’d be able to fill this demijohn with some left over but instead I had to pour so much that a bunch of the lees made it in.

What would you guys recommend? Should I get a smaller demijohn and rack it into there after letting everything settle for a bit longer?

It’s currently on day 20. Finished fermenting at 1.000SG. 12%ABV
