COMMENTS
The conjecture that 'for n > 2, a(n) == 0 (mod 3)' is not true since a(12) = 32 2's which is == 1 (mod 3). - Robert G. Wilson v
Sequence could be represented by citing the number of repeated digits concatenated with that digit, e.g., a(8) = 122. See A087450.
EXAMPLE
a(6) = 22222222 because the 6 distinct prime divisors of a(6) are 2, 3, 7, 11, 13, and 37.
