Dear Dan,
You and Wolfgang seem to be talking about two different pieces.
Ms 267, No. 32 (page 50) does not fit your description.

SO glad to hear that someone else has discovered this wonderful bizarre masterpiece by
Marco... I have been studying and practicing it for about a year, almost memorized. It is
the ultimate "Recercar/fantasia senza il canto" ever written; surpassing all
other pieces of this tiny subgenre; generated of course by the unfortunate frequency of
chantarelle disintegration- usually mid-performance, esp. in the pre-nylon string days.
I highly recommend it; especially as a study piece. It's probably a lousy
recital/concert piece unless you are playing for a small group of lute nerds. And,
most importantly; if you try to play it on a lute with unison basses it will sound
like crap. Really! A high quality 6 (or 7) course, and the 8ves MUST include
courses 4 and 5 as well as the other basses- and this piece really pops! Actual gut
helps too, we want crisp enunciation of the notes as you fret up to 7 & 8 frets
on the bass courses.
The only other piece of music in any category that I have heard that starts on the lowest
bass notes and stays there for so long is Gorecki's Symphony #3 "Sorrowful
Songs" -utterly different mood, though. Marco's is very upbeat, almost humorous.
Giacomo Gorzanis is another lute composer/player who repeated phrases changing
only courses and positions for tone color reasons.

Ms. 266 has a really crazy Aquila ricercar, No 25 (f. 24v), which starts at the
lowest course and goes up to 7/h. It's also a senza canto ricercar.
Has anyone played this beast?...

a nice example for tone colour (echo) in higher register is:

Nor do I, but Brown records two later editions. It may be interesting
(at least for someone who is fascinated by the music and the history of
its editions) to compare the texts. Years ago I copied the piece from
the CNRS edition, which should be based on the earliest known
publication, that is on 1554[6]. If I wasn't out of my mind while
copying the music, there are several measures where you would have to
pick the final note in cadences from the octave string of the third
course. Later I saw the piece in one of the later prints, and all this
fine play with octave strings and resulting sonorities, which to me
seemed so perfectly matched the way De Rippe intavolated the echos of
the chanson, was edited out ... I have however never investigated much
time into this, and it may even be that the piece is full of errors in
1554[6] or the copy the CNRS editors where working from, and that all
ideas of mine about fine play, octave strings and sonorities are
nonsense ...
Best
