From Giovanni Resta, Feb 26 2020: (Begin)
a(19) = 87281795511221945137157107231920199501246882793017456359

which is too large (184 digits) to be included in Data.
Here a(18)*a(19) = 245|a(19)|7 = 24587|a(18)|955... where | denotes digit concatenation. (End)
EXAMPLE
a(1)*a(2) = 1*10 = 10 and 10 contains the substrings 1 and 10, which are precisely a(1) and a(2);
a(17)*a(18) = 81*2817 = 228177 and 228177 contains the substrings 81 and 2817, which are precisely a(17) and a(18).
