Oh! I didn't find that score. Thanks so much! One approach would be to
intabulate the missing parts from the score, as a second lute part
(maybe using red notes) or just to fill them in so a single lute could
play the complete piece.
Since the first part does not have gaps or red notes, it, too might have
to be edited (red notes or whatever) to fit the score.
All that is a bit of an undertaking.
Meanwhile, I am soldiering on through the MS.

No, I haven't seen, but the numbers correspond to the duration of
rests in the first choir's part (and the nine semibreve long section
not included in the tablature). If you look at the score[1], you can
see there are rests that last for two semibreves on page 25, for five
semibreves on page 27, for 11 semibreves on pages 30–32, for three
semibreves on page 36, for six semibreves on pages 38–39 and for 13
semibreves on pages 40–42. Then there is a nine semibreve long section
on pages 33–34 that is missing from the tablature.
There is no second lute part on the spreads in question (neither in
red notes nor reversed), which is the reason why I thought that the
possible second lute part might not be in the same manuscript.

Well, as we have discussed, the red notes are apparently played from
the same score on a second lute, and elsewhere in Eysert, there are
apparently both parts of some duets, some reversed to play off
the same
MS (haven't run across them yet). That suggests that there may
not be a
second part book, which doesn't mean a second part isn't lurking in
some other random MS.
I we ignore the #º notations entirely, Part 2 sounds quite all
right to
my ears as is, so the notations might mean something entirely
different...
Andre Nieuwlaat is going to hunt around and see if he can find a
second
part. Perhaps it would have similar notations to indicate missing
bars,
meant to be played from the version in Eysert.
Have you seen notations like this anywhere else in the lute
literature? I haven't.
