Well, one way to find out is to get the manufacture specs on that 200lb hollow braid, calculate through line conversion how much you would be able to fit on that reel then go find out the thickness of that mono topshot and calculate that as well.
You can do that with my line conversion calculator found in my signature. That calculator works well, and so far i had no complaints.
I also understand that the hollow may lay flat, but again - if nobody actually answered you accurately, based on facts, you still need to start somewhere. Doing the conversion seems to be the only way to know better.
i cant figure yours out it probably is pretty easy and im just over thinking it

OK, let me help you - i made it - i can brake it up at any level.
Just give me the thickness in inch of your 200lb braid, as well as the thickness of your mono topshot and i'll gonna tell you how much you can fit, with full explanation what's what. I also need to know on what reel you'll gonna put all this line. Ex: Avet 80w, Penn 12/0, Penn 16/0 etc.
Ya ur calculator was accurate I was able to fit 1325 yards line total and ur calc said 1310 so in my book that's damn close since I wet packed the braid lol

I'm glad i can help - somehow.
i cant find any thicknesses of hollow but heres the solid 200lb=.030" and then the 200lb mono=.066929" and that will be on an 80w avet
i cant find any thicknesses of hollow but heres the solid 200lb=.030" and then the 200lb mono=.066929" and that will be on an 80w avet
Here is how i do it:
1 - you take the LOWER line specification from the reel's manufacture, in this case Avet were they say that you can fit 1,000yds at 80lb mono (notice that this is also the lowest mono line for the 80w?)
2 - you go to a website, i prefer berkley - and take the line thickness for 80lb mono, which is 0.035"
3 - you go on my Line Capacity Calculator website and you put the following info:
3.1 - In the "Reel Spool Line" field, type in "1000" - which is the Avet 80w's line capacity at 80lb
3.2 - In the "Original Line Dia" field, type in "0.035" - which is the thickness of the 80lb mono (based on many tests, i found berkley's website to be also an excellent reference point when comes to line capacity)
3.3 - In the "New Line Dia" field, type in "0.030" - which is the thickness of the 200lb braid that you mention in your post
4 - leave anything checked as it is and push the "Calculate" button
You'll see that the conversion calculator answer's within seconds the result, which is in this case: 1,361 Yards
Now, knowing that you can full pack your spool with 1,361 Yards, and also you want to live room for topshot you need to spool with braided line LESS then 1,361 Yards. So, as an example let's take 1,000yds of 200lb braided line.
Now let's calculate the TopShot:
5 - Having all thous numbers in place already from 1 to 3.3 fields as stated above, and knowing that you can full pack the spool all the way to 1,361 Yards of braid at 200lb AND deciding to pack 1,000 yards for 200lb braid, you need to check mark the "Calculate TopShot" from NO TO YES - at this point - all the grayed out fields will let you to fill them up with additional information.
6 - In the "Braided Spool Line" field, type in "1000" - which are the Yards that you decided to spool your reel with 200lb braided line
7 - In "TopShot Line Dia" field, type in "0.066929" - which is the thickness of your 200lb mono topshot
8 - Having all that information filled up, push the "Calculate" button
At this point you'll see the how much Topshot you can fit, which in this case is 72 Yards of 200lb mono AND the total of line on your spool with Topshot, which is 1,072 Yards.
You can always play with these numbers, more braid, less topshot, or less braid more topshot etc.
So, as a summary you'll be able to fit:
1,000yds of braid at 200lb with an thickness of 0.030"
72yds of mono at 200lb with an thickness of 0.066929"
Total: 1,072yds
Pretty good i would say 
I hope you i made it more clear on how to use this Line Capacity Calculator.
If you have any questions feel free to ask by providing the reference number(s) from these steeps where you didn't understand something.
P.S. The reference spool numbers for Avet 80w were corrected from 1,000yds 100lb mono to 1,000yds 80lb mono.
yea that did help thanks thought you had to fill in everything in at the same time and thats whats confused me.
You actually give me the initiative to link in my signature the post were i explain how to use the line capacity calculator. In that way, others, can read thous instructions in case that they run into issues using the calculator.
More people use that calculator, more spooling options they get - more nicer reports we'll gonna all read!
It took me 3 days to design and code the calculator, and about 4-5 months to test it out on different reels spools, to give it an fairly high accuracy and publish it online.
After all, there is always a need to calculate the reel's line capacity when we go away from manufactures specs.
P.S. For this calculator to help you MORE ACCURATE - YOU NEED TO KNOW EXACTLY YOUR THICKNESS FOR THAT HOLLOW BRAID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Call the manufacture - ask sellers - MAKE SURE YOU KNOW THAT!
Hmmm interesting because if the specs are right for the avet 80w and 12/0 everol....both list as 1000yds of 80mono then you should be able to fit 1500yds of solid powerpro plus a topshot. On my 12/0 i was able to fit 1500yds of 200lb pp and 100yards of 220lb momoi extra hard. That included about 20yds of 130mono on the bottom of the reel for backing (i no longer use backing), and there was still a little room for appx 30-40yds of 220. I did pack it on tight as I spooled off of a 14/0 senator. I would say IF the 80w does hold the same as my 12/0everol then you could get 1500 yds of braid and then 100-150yds of 200mono.
What's the thickness on that PP 200lb line? As always - this all about the thickness of the line.
my friend dan has alot more then what the calculator said on his 80w too but its probably just on how tight you pack it

...and thickness of the line that he use. You can have 2,000yds if your line is thinner then what was specified in that post were i did that example. Just because someone said, i have 200lb braid on my Avet 80w that doesn't mean that the line used, has same thickness line spooled like others 80w spooled with 200lb braid.
i think its because boghy did the calculation with 100lb mono and not 80 as the line capacity is 1000yds of 80

Ups sorry for that - yes i did with 100lb mono at 1,000yds not 80lb mono 1,000yds - good eye stellarol. I'll edit that post.
The numbers went down, based on same thickness for the 200lb braid and mono topshot.
