Unless you're being ridiculously pedantic and ignoring the fact that "half" can be used even when it doesn't literally mean 50%?
No, 'half' does mean 50 per cent. When something is divided into two unequal parts, it is usual but strictly speaking incorrect to refer to each part as 'half'. If you can see the difference in size, then calling each piece 'half' is not reasonable.0
