Guessing its not very Codex-like but it doesn't bother me.
Mixed formations actually are very codex like and normal for Space Marines.

If transport is provided for Terminators, then the entire formation is put in several Land Raiders.
...the wording in the Land Raider option allows the transport types to be mixed, which I feel is not entirely appropriate, that is all.
Well yes, Terminators can't mix transport like other Marines because Terminator armour is too bulky to fit into a Rhino or Razorback. If you want them mechanised it has to be Land Raiders.
You're wrong on it not being appropriate Ginger. To give a relevant quote from the Forge World Imperial Armour book on space marines: 'Space Marines commonly use combined arms and ad-hoc formations. The heaviest armour leads the way...Rhinos are protected behind the leads units" There are several pages detailing formations/tactics used in particular battles with diagrams and many of them show 1-2 Land Raiders leading the way to draw the fire with Rhinos advancing behind them for cover, which is basically what having the mixed transports reflects in the SM list.
Mixed types of transport are common in epic too - SMs are already mixing Rhino and Razorbacks, Eldar Aspects Wave Serpents and Falcons, Cultists Chimera and Land Transporters, Orks battlewagonz, gunwagonz and forts, Chaos Space Marines Rhinos and Land Raiders, ect.
