For density operators supported on mutually orthogonal subspaces, the eigenvalues of their mixture are pi​λij​, where λij​ are the eigenvalues of ρi​. Substitution into the definition of Von Neumann entropy gives the displayed decomposition into Shannon entropy of the label and the mean entropy within each block. Zero eigenvalues use 0log0=0.
