What is the actual size of Mounted troops.
Never toppled over this question before...strange....
Lets take a Mounted Hussar for example:
The rider has SZ 2
The mount has SZ 3
What does it make together?
The maximum Size of the largest model = 3
The division od the added SZ = 2,5
the normal addition = 5
Or half the riders size added, since he is sitteing = 4
I hope I haventījust overread something in the rules.

SZ is an all-emcompassing (Height, breadth, mass, etc.) measure of the amount of volume taken up by a model. As the model in question is the Mounted Hussar, it would seem to me that the overall SZ is that of the largest model of a unit that includes a rider. Afterall, we do not add the SZ's of the models riding in a vehicle (Skimmer, transport, Purple Shark). Further, when a Praetorian Behemoth clobbers a model and picks it up from the ground, the Behemoth is not suddenly SZ 8 until he launches said unfortunate model.
Do not overthink some rules - they are what they are, and are, usually, ruled by common sense and black and white print (yes, I know that sometimes the two conflict).
