I don't know half of you half as well as I should like, and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.

He doesn't know half of the people there as much as he liked to know them. He doesn't know them very well. But the "should" there gives the idea that he didn't really like to know them all that much.

>and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.

He is friendly to some few people though. But those actually deserve much more affection than what he gave them, for they are awesome.
