There are Mods that increase the size of TFs, but that's the only way I know of to get over the limit.
As for what to do with all your obsolete ships, that's what Antaran expeditions are for. Seriously, I emptied my reserves of all my decent ships, then started sending Armadas out to search for the Xs. Of the 8 Armadas created, 4 returned with an X within a hundred turns or so (might have been longer, but it wasn't over 200). There wasn't anything larger than a frigate in any of those Armadas.
EDIT: Don't send anything smaller than an Armada on an expedition. You tend to loose ships on expeditions, and my smaller groups have been known to be destroyed when only one partial discovery away from an X.
