COMMENTS
Subsequence of A206926.
From left to right, the binary representation of a(n) consists of a concatenation of the bit pattern 100101 (=37). If the number of places is not a multiple of 6, the least significant places are truncated. This leads to a simple linear recurrence.
Example: a(19)=615830=10010110010110_2=concatenate('100101','100101','10')

FORMULA
a(n) = 37*2^(1+n mod 6)*(2^(6*floor(n/6))-1)/63 + floor(37*2^(n mod 6)/2^5).
a(n) = floor((37*2^(n+1)/63)) mod 2^(n+1).
A206925(a(n)) = 2*floor(log_2(a(n))).
a(n+1) = 2a(n) + floor(37*2^(n+2)/63) mod 2.
G.f.: x*( 2+x^2+x^4+x^5-2*x^6 ) / ( (x-1)*(2*x-1)*(1+x)*(x^2-x+1)*(1+x+x^2) ). - R. J. Mathar, Apr 02 2012
Also, g.f. x*(2+x^2+x^4+x^5-2*x^6)/((1-2*x)*(1-x^6)).
EXAMPLE
a(3)=9=1001_2 has 6 [=A206925(9)] contiguous palindromic bit patterns. This is the minimum value for binary numbers with 4 places and 9 is the least number with this property.
a(9)=601=1001011001_2 has 18 [=A206925(601)] contiguous palindromic bit patterns. This is the minimum value for binary numbers with 10 places and 601 is the least number with this property.
