COMMENTS
a(n) <= (2*10^n+1)^2. This bound is tight for n = 2, 7. Are there other values of n for which this bound is tight? For n = 11, there are no [further digits] block, i.e. the smallest square has 2n digits. This is true for all n in A086982. For instance, a(21) = 183673469387755102041183673469387755102041, a(33) = 132231404958677685950413223140496132231404958677685950413223140496. - Chai Wah Wu, Mar 25 2020
