Default topping off a barrel

I am about to bottle a 50-some gallon barrel of wine.
After cleaning the barrel, I can add about 35 gallons of wine from
demijohns that I can use to replace the bottled wine. That would leave
me with a huge amount of air in the barrel and that obviously can't
work. Any suggestions or should I just abandon the partial barrel
aging idea, clean the barrel, fill it with water and sterilizer then
wait until next year?
