Transistor questions

1. When calculating values for a transistor I need to find the "maximum
output current from the chip".

If the chips outputs are:
low = 8mA
high= 0.4mA

would the max be 8mA regardless if I am using a NPN or PNP.

or

Is it max for NPN = 0.4mA and max for PNP = 8mA



2. If I were to spit the ouput of a IC to 2 transistor that would split
the amps right?

ex. high-out= 0.4mA / 2 = 0.2mA to each transistor....
