I have very mixed feelings about this, which means that you should probably just do whatever you feel like. On the one hand, I am always eager to read new material, even clips and teasers and the like. On the other, finished pieces are admittedly better to consume, and waiting for a sequence to be done reduces the chances of the author getting to the end and realizing that a bit back near the beginning should have been different, which maybe you're pretty confident won't happen in this case, but is something that occasionally bugs me a bit about the entire genre (genre? medium?) of serialized fiction.
