If I move a batch into secondary I will end up with about 1/5th of air space at the top! Should I top up with a week must ????
Seconary!

Do you have access to co2? You could pump a few shots of it in your fermenter before reattaching your airlock.
My wife bought one of those Soda Streams a few years back and it rarely gets used. So, I have been using it to pump a few short shots of co2 in my fermenters instead of having to top off with new must.

No access to co2 ... But is there a way to top up otherwise... Will a week must work or even a very small amount of yeast??

Sure, you could top off with a week must. I have even topped off with various juices, both diluted and straight.

Topping up is always a bone of contention.......
People use must, water, brandy or vodka, juice, CO2, sterile glass marbles, a similar mead, wine, etc etc.
They all do the job. They all have plus points as well as a down side....
