On a 20 amp breaker, definitely. On a 30 amp breaker, probably not. I don't have a copy of the NEC handy, and I'm not a code expert, but IIRC the code has (or had) a provision for using a size smaller neutral to feed a 120/240v balanced load (nearly equal current on both legs of the line). But since you can't warrant that both 120v receptacles will be in use at the same time, that exception (if it still exists) probably wouldn't apply to your case. Pro electricians who follow the code daily may have more or better information for you.
