Five bays is fine, as long as they are all on the same ship.

Try splitting that five-bay transport out into a seperate fleet, then loading the Engineer. If that doesn't work, try quitting to desktop and reloading before attempting to load the Engineer.

If you created the five-bay transport by using SM-mode to modify an existing ship, you will need to open the "Ships" window and click on that ship to refresh the data, before any changes actually take effect.

Having some difficulties trying to exploit some ruins. Can't put one brigade in five transports- can't split brigades. Designed a mega-transport that holds 5 battalions; since Engineering Brigades are size 25 and battalions are size 5, I thought it would work.

Nope. "Cannot pick up ground unit as the fleet has insufficient space." Do I seriously 25 troop transport bays to transport a single engineering brigade? That's nearly 64k tons before even adding engines. Or am I missing something?
