Is this sentence idiomatic ? 他活了大半辈子:He has finished/completed the most part of his lifespan (or life?). I've searched on google, but it seems nobody have ever used such an expression,thus making me wonder whether the sentence is idiomatic. If not, what is the proper way to express the meaning? Answers would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

It is not idiomatic. It means exactly what it says.

It's hard to translate, but maybe "he's lived a full life" or "he's in his 'golden years'."
