a(n) = A000030(A254143(n));
also initial digits of A254323: a(n) = A000030(A254323(n)).
all terms are of the form u*v mod 10, where u <= v and belonging to {1,3,4,6,7}, the distinct elements of A254397:
length of k-th run of consecutive 1s = A005993(k-2), k > 1;
length of k-th run of consecutive 2s = k*(k+1)/2 = A000217(k), k >= 1;
length of k-th run of consecutive 3s = k+1, k >= 1;
length of k-th run of consecutive 4s = A065033(k-1);
n with a(n) = 4: A237424(n) = (10^a+10^b+1)/3 with b = 0, see also A093137, A133384;
n with a(n) = 6: A237424(n) = (10^a+10^b+1)/3 with a = b; A005994(a(n)) = 6 for n > 1; see also A199682;
