Whatever weights you set up are normalized to 100%. Most shops either set them up to all add up to 100 or 1000 if they want more granularity. But setting up 4 LPARs to 10/5/5/5 is the same as 40% / 20% / 20% / 20% assuming they all have equal engines or enough engines that can satisfy the weight. IOW, you can't achieve a weight equivalent to 50% on a 6 engine box if you only assign 2 LPs to that LPAR (the most you can get is 33%).
