Probably not no, if the pot was biodegradable or cardboard or even a peat puck, the roots will barely hold the medium together. Idea is to transplant once the medium is dry, the rootz hold it together. When you use plastic pots it can often take several taps to make the medium dislodge, with nothing holding the dry medium together the seedling could literally just fall out. There is no right or wrong way or time. But it's dar from ideal IMO, leafspan hasnt even outsized the pot it curre tly sits in. Allow to maybe double that size. The base of a strong football is to allow the roots to circular round and round in a plastic pot restricted from oxygen, then upsize or add to a more airy final pot. Personally I'd wait till it at least doubles in size.

By the looks of the picture I think I would wait another week unless the roots are developed well. If the roots are not well developed the transplant could damage them from everything crumbling apart, Might cause it to go into a bit of transplant shock and not grow for a week or so. Plant on the left looks like it was over watered a bit in the first week days by the leaves twisting. Good Luck!

Unless your plants roots have a grip around most the dirt you should be very carefull with repotting. the ideal repotting situation is when your plants have used up most space. that way you will be able to move both plant and dirt in one go with minimum damage to the roots.

If the stem is hearty enough that you feel you can do it without causing damage then sure. If you're nervous about it then give it a little more time. No wrong answers.
