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.
