On a more detailed note, keep in mind that the second order entropy (either the unconditional or the conditioal one) is a single value representing a 2-dimensional matrix of probability values.
There are infinitely many different such matrices (probability distributions) that all lead to the same entropy.
To get a really good match, one should be able to approach the entire distribution.
Note, that this would be a major achievement, and a sign that one is potentially onto something.
(Of course, a Naibbe-type cipher, that recomposes the text from known segments of it, may be able to mimick it quite well due to its very nature.)
