If this kind of error is encountered, where it requires retesting - does it
make sense to complete the it? is there an option to abort and restart?

I have had similar experience in the past.
I was playing UT2004 3D FPS at the time and it is memory intensive.
The May 20th entry looks like it started twice - the second round off
error was a lower iteration.
I believe it "restarts from the last save" so I dont believe any further
action is needed.

I am afraid not. Continuing from the last save file is not enough. This
just means that there was an error the first time round but not the second
time which likely points to a hardware failure or failure due to drivers.
It is known that some games operating with older video/audio drivers cause
the FPU state to be set incorrectly causing an error. Alternatively,
running UT is causing Prime95 to use some memory/cache areas that are
susceptible to error that are not otherwise used during LL tests. Read the
stress.txt and try to fix the system accordingly as there 50% chance that
your test result will be erroneous and thus worthless. A quick examination
of the BAD and LUCAS_V.TXT files show that 44 of the results returning this
error code 00000300 were good and 68 were bad. There are a further 240
results - including yours that await verification.
