Permutations of digits of all terms in this sequence are in A261020. There are 2403274 such permutations. About 38% (binomial(32,6) = 906192) of these permutations come from a(61) = 99999911111111111111111111111111.
On average, for every number of digits from 1 to 72, there's exactly one element.

EXAMPLE
{1, 3, 9} forms a group under multiplication in Z/mZ for m = 13 and m = 26 (and no other values of m). m is the sum of digits of a term, so we can solve 9*x + 3*y + 1*z in {13, 26} for (x, y, z) >= (1, 1, 1). Solutions are (x, y, z) in {(1, 1, 1), (2, 2, 2), ..., (1, 1, 14)}. A solution (x, y, z) denotes a term starting with x nines, then followed by y threes, and then by z ones.
