It's unclear from the description why the result is the way it is.
Does it need to start at the first non-empty item of list1? Or does it
only need to know the length of list2?

If the former: (append non-empty elements of list1 to list2)

let listResult = extend(copy(list2), filter(list1, 'strlen(v:val)'))

:help extend()
:help copy() " only if you need to use list2 again later
:help filter()
:help strlen() " only needed if '0' is a valid item

If the latter: (just append anything beyond the end of list2 from list1)

if len(list1) > len(list2)
let listResult = extend(copy(list2), list1[len(list2):])
endif

:help list-index, then search for 'Sublist'
