The naming of the file is correct. However, the problem is the missing
less content processor. Put the following into the ext/init.rb file
and using less should work:

  class LessProcessor

    def call(context)
      require 'less'
      context.content = Less.parse(context.content)
      context
    end

  end

  Webgen::WebsiteAccess.website.config['contentprocessor.map']['less'] = 'LessProcessor'

After that, any file that has .less.css is run through the less parser
and put into an .css output file.
