Would this imply in having a node (with bigger range, 1/2 of the range while other 2 nodes have 1/2 each, supposing 3 nodes) overloaded?

For lowest impact, doubling the size of your cluster is recommended so that you can avoid doing moves. Or if you're on Cassandra 1.2+, you can use vnodes, and you should not typically need to rebalance after bringing a new server online.
