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.

Does Capirola say that you should play one or other string of an octave strung
course?

"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.
