Using the example you cite, Hosts 1 and 2 will share 50% of the bandwidth, because they share the same queue.
I have only ever used the class based queing scheduler, and organized queues by network application, to shape outbound bandwidth use. If conducting your shaping by application doesn't meet your needs, you might investigate the hierarchical fair service curve scheduler. It is not mentioned in the FAQ, but is described in the pf.conf man page, which says:

...Each queue can have a priority and a bandwidth assigned. Priority main-
ly controls the time packets take to get sent out, while bandwidth
primarily affects throughput. hfsc supports both link-sharing and
guaranteed real-time services. It employs a service curve based
QoS model, and its unique feature is an ability to decouple delay
and bandwidth allocation.
