I'm not sure what point you are trying to make here.
But I think that high basses would balence better with the upper parts.
This is certainly the case on my keyboard.

Yes, I had looked at the MS.
The point with battuto or pizzicato is about the volume of the tone of the
guitar. I suppose that the GTh was not much used for strumming (if for
anything), as appears from Granata 1659 and Gallot, and the basses would
have to balance with the (probably modest) sound level of the plucked
trebles.

The music for guitarre theorbee in the Gallot manuscript is entirely in
lute style - that is - the note values are always above the stave not on
it.
It is basically in two parts which is why there is often a wide gap
between the voices. There are 3-part chords on the fingerboard - many
of which are open courses only. If there is an open bass as well this
will sound below them even if the these are in the upper octave.
Have you actually looked at the music?
