COMMENTS
There are 12 - 2*k terms of the sequence with k digits, 1 <= k <= 6.
FORMULA
The terms can be described by the following linear equations:
for 1 <= n <= 9, a(n) = n;
for 10 <= n <= 17, a(n) = 11*(n - 9) + 9;
for 18 <= n <= 23, a(n) = 111*(n - 17) + 309;
for 24 <= n <= 27, a(n) = 1111*(n - 23) + 5309;
for 28 <= n <= 29, a(n) = 11111*(n - 27) + 75309.
