Slaanesh Veteran Marine with Tentacles

Is it possible to purchase a dedicated transport for a unit that can not actually fit inside of it, and merely deploy the transport as a separate unit?
Example: A friend of mine wants to deploy a 20-man squad of Necron warriors. He also wants to purchase a ghost ark to stay with them and provide fire support. Is it possible to do this, or will he have to lower his squad size to ten and start them embarked on the ghost ark?
Thanks

It depends on the codex. If it specifies the unit has to be under X size, then no.
But certain books (such as the Sisters of Battle) can take them whatever squad size it is.

In this case, the Necron codex makes no mention of unit size in relation to the Ghost Ark, so I guess he's good to go.
Thank you for help!

You're never required to deploy in a dedicated transport - it's just that the only unit that has the option to is the one that bought it.
Similarly any unit can start embarked in a non-dedicated transport.

THIS.
There was a question at a tournament we held not long ago. The recent Codex: Space Marine FAQ states that even if a unit has more than 6 models, it may select a Razorback as a dedicated Transport.. A player decided to interpret this as meaning his squad of ten marines can deploy inside a Razorback (with a stated transport capacity of six). This is not the case! They simply deploy on the table separately.
