%N a(n) is the minimal product of a positive integer sequence of length n with no duplicate substrings (forward or backward) of length greater than 1.

%e ...
%e [1,2,3,1,2] is invalid because the substring [1,2] appears twice.
%e [1,2,1] is invalid because the substring [1,2] appears twice (once forward and once backward).
