Not possible. Here is an extract from
  <ftp://ftp.unicode.org/Public/MAPPINGS/OBSOLETE/EASTASIA/JIS/SHIFTJIS.TXT>
which shows a large gap where you say there are characters assigned. 
I presume the file is produced using some proprietary extension of 
Shift_JIS with extra characters added, as is the case with 
Mac-Japanese, but I suspect also that your file was corrupted in 
transit since it contains characters 0x BD40BD41.  You would need to 
send it zipped.
