You can't. If you have one filegroup the tables are created and written to across both your files. SQL Server writes the data evenly across the files. You can't allocate tables to specific files within a filegroup.
If you are concerned about object placement, create a secondary filegroup and make it the Default then all your user data will be written there instead of the PRIMARY filegroup.
