a(n) is composite for all 2 <= n <= 1000. - David Cleaver, Apr 14 2023

Alois P. Heinz, Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..31
EXAMPLE
a(4) = 4444333221 because 4 concatenated four times then concatenated with 3 three times and 2 twice and 1 once gives 4444333221.
MAPLE
a:= n-> parse(cat(seq((n-i)$(n-i), i=0..n-1))):
seq(a(n), n=1..12); # Alois P. Heinz, Mar 07 2018

(PARI)
a(n) = {my(a=0, b=0, d=1, i);

a += d*i*(10^(i*b)-1)/(10^b-1);
d *= 10^(i*b); ); return(a); } \\ David Cleaver, Apr 14 2023
