In the grey knights codex it says that combat squads are split at deployment. If I have a squad of 10 with a razorback can I deploy 5 in the razorback and keep the other 5 in reserve to deep strike? Thank you!

no. reserves may not be broken into combat squads, so either deploy a or none.

Read the reserve rules, note they start with the words "instead of deploying...."

So no, you cannot do it as you have not deployed the unit when you declare it is going in reserve

I just noticed disembarking tells you to "deploy" units. So can a unit of 10 tactical marines enter, say, a landraider and disembark as two combat squads next turn?

7 Ork facts people always get wrong:
Ragnar did not win against Thrakka, but suffered two crushing defeats within a few days of each other.
A lasgun is powerful enough to sever an ork's appendage or head in a single, well aimed shot.
Orks meks have a better understanding of electrics and mechanics than most Tech Priests.
Orks actually do not think that purple makes them harder to see. The joke was made canon by Alex Stewart's Caphias Cain books.
Gharkull Blackfang did not even come close to killing the emperor.
Orks can be corrupted by chaos, but few of them have any interest in what chaos offers.
Orks do not have the power of believe.

No, you cannot split on the field. When the unit is initially placed, it has been deployed. Disembarking from a vehicle is not a new deployment.

This is one of those times when GW's lack of consistency in terminology is a major problem.

It's best to pretend that the word "deploy" in the disembarking section is a totally different word than the word "deploy" elsewhere in the BGB.
