Interpolation's kind of a tough issue. The horizontal resolution shouldn't necessarily be dependent on the contour step intervals, because those are two unconnected parameters. In principle, interpolation will fill the gaps between given values. Since the gap filling values are always guesses -

I think William's right, the shape factor is important. A way to combine the two so that the shapes of the large null areas is the same as the gaps in the original raster would be to make polygons out of the original gap areas, then use William's method with r.grow, then making polygons that
