The time required to perform system software or App updates are principally determined by three factors:
Larger downloads, or poor network connection bandwidth, will result is slower update performance.
At what stage does the iPad appear to have stalled?
1) Do you see information on-screen that indicates that the update has been requested, is downloading or preparing the update? If so - and several hours have passed, then something may have stalled the update process. In this situation the update process can be restarted.
2) If instead you see an black Apple logo on a white background, or a white Apple logo on a black background - possibly with a thin progress bar below the Apple logo - then the system software is being written to the device and should not be interrupted.

After restarting the iPad, you should be able to continue with the setup process.
