A098711 Write down decimal expansion of Pi; starting with 31, divide up into chunks of minimal length so that chunks are increasing numbers and do not begin with 0.

31, 41, 59, 265, 358, 979, 3238, 4626, 43383, 279502, 884197, 1693993, 75105820, 97494459, 230781640, 628620899, 862803482, 5342117067, 9821480865, 132823066470, 938446095505, 8223172535940, 81284811174502, 84102701938521

Seems to grow slower than A016062 (another sequence built on the same principle, which begins with 3, 14, 15, 92, 653...).

Table of n, a(n) for n=1..24.

Example

a(4) = 265, the three digits of Pi following a(3) = 59, because neither 2 nor 26 is > 59. a(13) = 75105820 even though 7510582 > a(12), because a(14) may not begin with a 0.
