COMMENTS
a(5*t)=0, for all t>1. This is because the last digit of 5*t is always 0 or 5 yet we require this digit to be composite for t>1. There are no other zero terms below a(10000). Conjecture: No other term is zero.
Because 0 is neither prime nor composite, it does not appear in any nonzero term. The digit 1 may appear only as the first digit of a term.

EXAMPLE
a(6) = 122424, the first digit is 1, the 2nd, 3rd and the 5th digits are primes and the 4th and 6th digit are composite.
