COMMENTS
It seems that a(n)=7 for all n>=62, but this needs to be proved.
EXAMPLE
a(61)=10 because by using 61, 62, 63, 64, 65 we can get 62-61=1, 63-61=2, ..., 63/((64-61)*(65-62))=7, (65-61)*(64+62)/63=8, (65-62)*(64-61)=9 but we cannot obtain 10 in the same way.
a(32) != 7 because 7 = 35 / (34 - (32 - (36 - 33))). - Sean A. Irvine, Jun 30 2024
