COMMENTS
This is to semiprimes A001358 as A198019 is to primes A000040. Considering the first 1, 2, 3, 4, ... digits of the decimal expansion 3.14159... of Pi, record the semiprimes that have not occurred earlier, the smaller first if two or more appear by the n-th digit that have not been seen in the first n-1 digits.

EXAMPLE
There are no semiprimes in the first 1 or 2 digits (3, 31). Then after 3 digits we have three: 4, 14, and 314 appearing for the first time. So a(1) = 4, a(2) = 14 and a(3) = 314.
