Yes, you can overdo meringue, as overbeating the egg whites will cause them to go past peak stiffness to a grainy consistency, and there is no going back once this happens.
Properly whipped egg whites should look shiny and moist, but overbeaten egg whites will have a dry and almost lumpy, curdled milk texture.
Beating the egg whites for too long can result in an undesirable texture.
Overbeaten meringue won't work properly in your recipe.
If you beat the egg whites too long, they will be overbeaten.
You can't just dump the sugar in all at once or it will knock all the air out of the foam.

Egg whites with little or no sugar are easy to over-whip, and doing so can make the difference between a dense mousse or torte, perfect or so-so—a dessert that’s pretty good compared with one that’s spectacular.
Don’t overdo it or the egg whites will become over whipped again.
Less is more: if in doubt, stop whipping.

Bake longer if you want the meringue to be dry and crisp all the way through, like the store bought meringues.
Or bake for less time if you want a soft, sticky marshmallow interior.
You could easily bring it to a party and cut it into squares, or break it into messy bite-size pieces.
