As to some extent, the Shannon entropy measures the average information you get from all the events, if we even remove from that group of potential events "nulls" and "fillers", how much information is really left to the reader?

The Shannon entropy h1 doesn't limit the amount of information much, as it is close to normal. The conditional entropy h2 is better as an upper bound but there is no way to know how much of the information is actually wasted by the encoding process. There could be any amount of nulls that we wouldn't be able to identify.
