COMMENTS
It appears that fractions of this kind with a(0)=1 exist only for a(1) equal to 4 (this sequence) and 13 (A320336).
Next term has 98 digits. - Giovanni Resta, Oct 11 2018
EXAMPLE
1/(4-1) = 0.3333...
At the beginning instead of 4 we have 3 as first decimal digit. Adding the second term this is fixed.
1/(4-1) + 4/(41 - 4) = 0.441441...
1/(4-1) + 4/(41 - 4) + 41/(89814 - 41) = 0.44189814891 ...
The sum is 0.4 41 89814 98285430640360 ...
