Does this do what I'm thinking it would do:
    [$HOME,!192.168.1.222,!192.168.1.223]
, that is, subnet except specific IPs ?

    No, that subnets the entire world.

    The commas are effectively "OR" statements, so just this part:
    [!192.168.1.222,!192.168.1.223] will match any IP address.

    Anything that is not 192.168.1.222 <http://192.168.1.222> OR
    anything that is not 192.168.1.223 <http://192.168.1.223>.

    The first clause will match all IPs except 192.168.1.222
    <http://192.168.1.222>, and the second clause
    will match  192.168.1.222 <http://192.168.1.222>, among many others.
    The net result is everything.



Is there solution/expression that matches the
         "given subnet except given list of IPs" ?

No, other than adding up other subnets to create the equivalent.

Are there IP RANGES, like [IP-IP] or maybe [IP:IP] ?

If you're not wanting to monitor them at all, adding "ip and not host
192.168.1.222 and not host 162.168.2.223" at the end of your snort start
line may fit the bill.
