Good catch. Will fix. EDIT - done
Nowhere is 'safe' once they lose the orbitals, but outside of the walls is probably safer for them than inside. They have set up fortifications in various places.

The cluster of crashed battlebarges would be petty safe.
They're under the impression that the districts they've captured can only be taken by the most determined assaults by our forces. In truth they could only see off a light assault. Being inside our walls means we can assault those positions a lot easier, as compared to trying to send out a sally. It's also apparently harder for them to gather the necessary numbers of sacrifices for the ritual from within our walls.

Gathering sacrifices won't be an issue once they breech the outer wall, and the bb themselves are hard to take, its the captured territory that they only loosely hold.

Gathering sacrifices together will be harder, because they'll have to do so while trying to hold their captured territory at the same time. Remember that the number of sacrifices needed is at least a billion. They're not going to be able to hold that number inside the battleships, and having to fend off attacks won't make it easy to perform the summoning as well. The simple logistics of the matter make it easier for them to do the summoning outside our walls easier than inside.

Also leaving aside that it'll be FAR easier to disrupt the ritual. It's our city, infiltrating our own city isn't what we call hard, their wards should be significantly weaker, and it should be rather easier to stall the ritual since we're at Ground Zero.
Absolute worst case scenario we LEF or Deathstrike or even just start bombing en masse. It's our city - Forget about things like 'Anti-Air' or 'Void Shields'.

As an aside, I'm really hoping we can get Ridcully fighting as a Sniper with our main force.

Is there a quote for that? Warhammer scale is fucky
According to Lexicanum "Imperial battleships can have crews of anywhere between 25,000 to 3,000,000 or more depending on sources,", so even at the high end you're going to have trouble stuffing billions of people into them. Dedicated warships don't tend to have a huge amount of space for ferrying troops, because that space would mean less armor and weapons. It's the reason that troop transports and mass conveyors are used to ferry around troops, rather than just putting them in the warships themselves outside of specialized ships like carriers.
Not yet, but our reinforcements are on the way and will arrive in a couple days.
They have four more, but they aren't in places we can get at right now.

Battlebarges are partially troop carriers, and they might be able to have multiple ritual sites.
@Durin can they fit the ritual on the crashed ships?

Just want to point out, since it wasn't mentioned:
Not that it matters too much- we still want them to bleed from every orifice, regardless of our losses.
But it's something to consider regardless.
Using Rotbart will lessen our martial bonus.
Unsure by how much- maybe 52?
This will cause greater casualties for the army defending the outer walls.

The thing is, deploying Rotbart to the front actually increases his Martial bonus in a small area, which is good when dealing with high-tier Chaos Astartes.
He also gets +1M against Astartes.

And as a more meta thing, doing great, legendary deeds is one of the main ways for traits to be gained and ranked up, and it doesn't get much more legendary than leading your personal guard against a chapter of Chaos Astartes and killing them all.
