I only have a standard tart pan. Do I cut this recipe in half, by one third or by two thirds?

Not sure what you mean by a standard tart pan.
In any case, here are 3 ways to figure out your answer.
1) use a baking pan VOLUME CHART to use alternative pans, like this one from allrecipes.com
http://dish.allrecipes.com/cake-pan-size-conversions/
2) CALCULATE THE VOLUME of both pans (original and possible replacement, to see if will hold all the recipe) in cubic inches, then convert to volume (imperial or metric, whatever you are working with). Your formulas from an old geometry class or online will help you do the calculation. After a few calculations, you'll get a rough sense of which pans hold about 8 cups, which about 12 cups and so on.
3) use this baking pan volume ARTICLE from Alice Medrich
