Note that you DO have to maximize the number of models you can hit in the non invisible target unit...

Incorrect. As long as you hit at least one model from the "intended target" unit, you can overlap as much of the invisible unit as you want.

See what you make us do, GW? Shooting one squad so we can attempt to wound another. We are tripping over the inadequacies of your rules.

Wrong. You must cover as many models as possible, or as much of the vehicle as possible

Got a quote and page number of that? I just want to check what the rules actually say.

Nope I don't see it. What's the heading of the page or section (my pc doesn't do ebook numbers well).
All Ican see for vehciles and templates is this:

Template Weapons
If a vehicle, or its base, is even partially under a template, it is hit on the Armour Value
facing the firer.

Nothing bout hitting as much of it as possible.

Edit: Ok got it, was way up on page 300 for me.

So there is no way to tag a vehicle with a flamer and hit a squad next to it then is there?

I've used this tactic with soul grinders and torrent flamers a lot. Guess thats out the window now.

If the whole template must be trying to cover as much of the hull as possible, secondary targets must be hugging the tank to get hit.

This applies to invis units too. They can be hit and damaged by flamers as collateral, but I doubt you would hit more than 1 guy, unless the target you aimed at is a single non vehicle model.

Blast weapons can scatter and hurt invis guys as normal.
