i am only a novice, but i would say it is good to top now.
clones are weird to top and, as mentioned, often bending them over is better. i top mine to buy time for a perpetual harvest, but i have done both and i would say bending them over is better because it is faster and you are not wasting any growth.
something i learnt that changed how i think of topping, is that the highest point is where the apex will be, rather than at the end of the main branch/es. this means that when you bend the stem over you move the apex to another point (or spread across multiple points), the same as you do when you top the plant, so the result is essentially the same but you stress the plant more when you top it.
I can see the clone has been taken from a mature mother plant because the nodes are staggered. Personally I would be topping her now, the two growing shoots beneath the cut will take the place of the main growing tip, leave it a week or two and top those tips and she’ll bush out nicely.
