Hi Vic,

It's perfectly OK to hang a small load across half of a center-tapped primary. 
"Small" is in comparison to the primary current. Ten Tec does this for the fan 
in 
their 425 amp. The only thing I would worry about is pushing the transformer 
beyond its ratings, or generating a LOT of imbalance. 

73,
