Last term: a(866) = a(|866 - a(866-3)|) + a(|866 - a(866-4)|) = a(|866 - a(863)|) + a(|866 - a(862)|) = a(|866 - 718|) + a(|866 - 88|) = a(148) + a(778) = 28 + 655 = 683,
but a(867) = a(|867 - a(867-3)|) + a(|867 - a(867-4)|) = a(|867 - a(864)|) + a(|867 - a(863)|) = a(|867 - 2546|) + a(|867 - 718|) = a(1679) + a(149) = undefined + 112 = undefined.
