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.
