How could you create positional audio for characters in a cutscene only using the center channel?

You don't. At least in the film world, if someone is on screen, they are on the center channel. Generally the only positional effects are for characters offscreen. Which makes sense, since everything on screen is center of your view.

If someone walks off camera, then they'd come out of a different channel.

Halo 4 and Halo Anniversary are mixed this way (dialogue on center), but Bungie games seem to have the dialogue on the center and L and R at the same time. Dunno why.
