A k-th order zip prime, where k <= number of digits, is one which, for all of each set k, form smaller primes when it is "zipped" into k parts by alternately distributing the leftmost digit to the parts. Thus 244712331139 is a 7th-order zip prime since we have:
k=1 244712331139
k=2 241313
... 472319
k=3 2731
... 4133
... 4219
k=4 211

... 433
... 739
k=5 223
