Fully illuminated fov

I have a 2.1" secondary that provides a 1/2" fully illuminated fov. If you can still not experience much vignetting with an 80% illuminated fov, does this mean that the maximum field stop I can effectively us is .625" or 15.9mm? I not, please explain the concept of fully illuminated fov.

Thanks
