It would be half the rated output per leg which is just fine as it would still equal the total output. Don't really think that the generator cares about the division of load as long as the maximum load doesn't exceed the generator's rating.
If you have a 240v outlet (two 120v legs) then you will have a double breaker, lets say it is 20 amps. If you try to get more than 20 amps out of either leg (even if the other leg is 0 amps) the breaker should trip.
It is this way in your house. If you have a 150 amp main breaker, then you have two 120v legs, each with a limit of 150 amps. If you exceed 150 amps on EITHER leg, the breaker will trip and you lose all power.
