But does Rippe actually say that you should do so and notate it in the
tablature?
We can all think of places where it might be a good idea to leave out one
string of a course but that's not the same thing at all.

Albert de Rippe, Douce Memoire intab (1562), bar 26--emphasize, or play
only, the high octave of the fourth course on the first and third beats,
or it'll sound kind of dumb.

The early German lutenist Adolf Blindhamer indicates the use of this

Let's not get confused here - the "split course" technique consists of
stopping only one string of a unison course so that the course produces
two different notes. This was used by Capirola, Fuenllana, Bakfark, and
possibly others. Playing the strings of an octave course separately is
a completely different technique, not used (as far as I know) before
Mouton in the late 17th century.

Yes, for instance in Rechercar XIII one has to finger one string of
the fourth course and plucking both of them.

I suppose he meant Capirola.

"Fuenllana (1554) prescribes playing only one of the two strings in
the
course in some passages (as does Dalza - does he?)"
As far as I am aware this is not what Fuenllana does. What he does do
is
play two different notes on the same course - stopping one string of
a
course and leaving the other unstopped.
