EXAMPLE
a(8) = 1234567910111213...1873 (ending at 1873, a 6384-digit probable prime, and too large to display here) was found by David Broadhurst on Sep 27 2015.
a(9) = 1234567810111213141516171819,
a(11) = 123456789101213,
and a(19) = 12345678910111213141516171820212223242526272829.
Sep 28, 2015: David Broadhurst has also found a(10), a(12), a(14), a(16), a(17), a(18), and a(20). See A262300 for their values.
a(13) is at present unknown.
