COMMENTS
The base 3 is listed in A260343, which means that a(3) = A260851(3) = 439 = 121021_3 is prime and therefore in A260852. See these sequences for more information.

EXAMPLE
a(0) = 0 is the result of the empty sum corresponding to 0 digits.
a(2) = 16 = 121_3 is the concatenation of (1, 2, 1).
a(3) = 439 = 121021_3 is the concatenation of (1, 2, 10, 2, 1), where the middle "10" is the base-3 representation of 3.
