Unless things have changed, weights are a proportion of the (total) CEC. With 2 engines on LPAR A, 50% can still be attained, but with a higher apparent usage of the 2 engines as compared to having all 3 available. With one engine, only 33% is available, so LPAR A will be effectively (hard-)capped at that. The unused capacity will be available to the other LPAR, and it will go to around 66%.
Should be pretty well explained in the PR/SM planning manual for your processor - see Resourcelink. Shane ...
