The question goes along the lines of understanding how does the entropy-information additivity works when black holes are inside other black holes, including the special case where the inner black holes have stable orbits around it.

Assuming one knows the separate entropy of two black holes $O$ and $I$, can one write down an expression for the entropy accessible on the outside spacetime when $I$ lives inside $O$? Is it an addition or a substraction of areas?

black holes are inside other black holes

Within the present model of general relativity this is not a possible situation, as anything within a black hole falls into the singularity at the origin.

The LIGO observation showed that when two black holes merge , (fall on each other) a single new black hole emerges, with a mass smaller than the sum of the two, and a lot of gravitational waves carrying off the left over energy.
