Sponsors are usually allowed to certify maintenance for the main applicant I am not sure if they can for dependents only, expecially when applying separately.
A Tier 2 dependent visa applied separately from main applicant is considered on its own merit.
I would look for an explicit rule confirming the sponsor company can provide support assurance for dependent through a letter (usually support is indicated on the IT systems SMS).
if you can't find anything I would recommend you to not take a risk of application getting rejected as it will affect you for your whole life.
