Dear Rainer,
Bar 7 is unplayable on a lute of any size if you try to hold all the
notes. In fact I think it's likely that he intends a vibrato on the
first note of the bar. There are no signs for vibrato in this book, but
there are in the 1620 book (Regia Pietas), and the vibrato sign
associated with notes in high positions where we might have expected the
same note(s) in a lower position. Have a look at Psalm 135 on p.135.
Piccinini and M.Galilei do the same thing (without any signs).

Dear Rainer,
agreed, when we take the pinky for the fifth finger, but where's the
problem (unless one trie to play this on a 67 cm scale)?
Addendum: Bar 7 IS unplayable on a 67cm lute - at least for my hands.
Why doesn't he use the 7th course for the A?
