  You can, but you shouldn’t. I wouldn’t recommend going above the 80% you already tried, if you go much higher you’ll significantly increase the chances of a render failing.

  Also, are you sure that setting it at 80% actually made it go faster? Have you tried doing the same thing in the opposite order (render with 80% first then go down to 60% and try it again)? AE may have just been reusing things it already cached in the first render for the second render.
