INSERT INTO table_name (column1,column2,column3,...)
VALUES (value1,value2,value3,...);
Where you want to skip a value simply input a null value. So you query should look something like this:
INSERT INTO table_name (name,adrs1,adres2,...)
VALUES (John,Null,Xi Street,...);
Your SQL design is not that great to begin with IMO but that should work with your current setup. I would create a table that has multiple columns then insert as needed, like this:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Table_1](
[id] [int] NULL,
[name] [varchar](50) NULL,
[ADRS1] [varchar](50) NULL,
[ADRS2] [varchar](50) NULL,
[ADRS3] [varchar](50) NULL,
[ADRS4] [varchar](50) NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
