You should not need a fifth staff with rests -- the indication of 4 1sts each playing one of the solo lines should be enough to indicate that all the other 1sts should be resting. After all, if you have a single staff with a section marked "Solo" all the rest of the section automatically rests with no other indication necessary. -- David H.
