Explanation:
Since the readers sneered(contempt) at the "breadth of Wallgot's references" (clue), the first blank will be related to diversity (eclecticism). Eclecticism can be added as a coating in the profound work, and not as an iota (scarcely detectable element) or a medley (a musical composition).
So the answers are:
Eclecticism, a veneer

We are looking for something that could make a work look less insubstantial and that has to do with breadth; insularity and stringency imply the opposite of breadth;
eclecticism (drawing on a wide variety of sources) fits. Eclecticism doesn't give a work a little bit (iota) or a mixture (medley) of profundity; it gives it a surface appearance (veneer) of profundity.

You are looking for something that could make a
work look less “insubstantial” and that has to do with “breadth”; insularity
(the narrow point of view resulting from life in a closed, isolated community)
and stringency (tightness or strictness) imply the opposite of breadth, but
eclecticism (drawing on a wide variety of sources) fits. Eclecticism doesn't
give a work a little bit (iota) or a mixture (medley) of profundity, which
means “deep insight”; eclecticism gives a work a surface appearance
(veneer) of profundity.
