Yes it is possible, I have a family member with only half a lung.

More detail:

My aunt had one lung removed due to lung cancer, and the other lung was so badly damaged from radiation that she lost half of that one. So she had only half of a lung left. She did just fine, but had to be on oxygen 24/7 for the rest of her life so that her body would get enough oxygen.

She was still independent, drove herself any place she wanted to go, and lived a good, full, active life.

How does the size of a human lung relate to the other organs in the body?

Taken together, adult human lungs are the largest organ system (the intestines together have nearly the same exterior volume). Each lung measures up to 12 to 16 cm wide and 25 to 35 cm in length. Internally, the total alveolar volume of a human lung is about the size of one-half of a tennis court.
