You can hook up 240V 1ph loads to the high leg and either of the

NO YOU do NOT want to do that. Connecting loads to the leg which
actually has the transformer is OK, but connecting single phase loads
across the "Open" side of the delta tends to start to collapse the
delta that you get.

Hmmm... Never heard that one. I'll have to remember to research it
if I ever come across another Open Delta service where they've hooked
up 1Ph loads like that.
