A092331 For S a string of numbers, let F(S) = the sum of those numbers. Let a(1)=1. For n>1, a(n) is the largest k such that the string a(1)a(2)...a(n-1) can be written in the form [x][y_1][y_2]...[y_k], where each y_i is positive (but not necessarily all the same) length and F(y_i)=F(y_j) for all i,j<=k. 2

COMMENTS

Here multiplication denotes concatenation of strings. This is Gijswijt's sequence, A090822, except that the 'y' blocks count as being equivalent whenever the sum of their digits is equal.
