The problem is that I don't know how to tell the transport to put down 30 troops (mass: 300 kts) and one or two weapons platforms. If I ask it to put troops down it puts 60 down, no less, and therefore I can't add any weapons platforms!

How do I vary the amount of cargo to be unloaded?

You are probably using the wrong command. There are three (IIRC): An up arrow for loading all, a down arrow for dropping all, and one with both for transferring - that's the one you want. You can move as many as you want in any direction with the transfer between any ships, moons, and the planet in that sector.
