Should I format the target first?
Source HDD has the same:
sda1, sda2, sda3, sda4.
Do I transfer one of them at the time, or they will be transferred all at once?
I am just extra careful, mistakes here can be catastrophic :-)

So if I’m understanding you correctly, you are going to clone your original HDD which is externally connected to the laptop to the new internal SSD which already has a copy of all the data of the Original HDD and has four partitions, sda1,2,3,4, just like the Original HDD, correct?
And you’re going to overwrite the internal SSD correct?
If so then do a complete clone of the HDD to the SSD.
You will end up with all four partitions of the same original size on the new SSD
and have empty room since the SSD is larger.
Once you have the cloning complete, disconnect the original HDD and boot up,
If all is well then use something like Partition Magic to enlarge your partitions to the sizes you’d like on the SSD.
