%N Composite numbers k such that all the decimal concatenations ik and ikj (i, j = 1...9) are also composite.

%C The old definition was that a(n) must be composite and "cannot be prefixed or followed by any digit to form a prime ('empty' suffixes are allowed)".

%e 55553 prefixed with a digit from (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9) and followed by a digit from ('',1,3,7,9) never yields a prime: '3'55553'_' = 11 x 32323; '2'5620'9' = 3 x 41 x 2083.
