Roger's definition is correct (at least, according to my music history
classes). Only once, though, have I encountered the term in concert band
literature. That was, I believe, the the Vaughn-Williams _Flourish for
Wind Band_. The clarinet parts were, if I remember correctly, marked:

Solo Clarinet
Clarinet 1 da Ripieno
Clarinet 2 da Ripieno
Clarinet 3 da Ripieno

Oddly enough, the solo part didn't seem to be of much greater importance
than the ripieno parts. Indeed, it didn't even seem to be very
different, at all.
