I've racked a couple different wines off around 1.020. Just make sure it's sealed well and you have the bubbler on it. It should keep fermenting, just at a slower rate.

When I do it I normally let it go as dry as I can in the secondary, then rack it and add my clearing agents after degassing.

Just put an airlock on it until completely done, sit back and relax. Or get another one started!!
