Unfortunately, no. From the documentation:
When you clone a sandbox, all its data and metadata are copied to the new sandbox. A cloned sandbox uses the same license type as its source org. For example, to clone a Full sandbox you must have a Full sandbox license available.

1Note also that a dev sandbox has a data limit of 200MB, where a full sandbox has the same limits as your production org. Even moving data via program or export/import, you quickly find yourself running out of room on a dev sandbox. Commented Feb 2, 2022 at 13:50

Cloning a Sandbox requires same kind of sandbox type means Full sandbox can be cloned from only full sandbox. Same as partial copy sandbox can be cloned from partial copy sandbox.
