COMMENTS
a(n) is undefined for n<5, as there are no numbers with 1 segment, 1 with 2 segments, 1 with 3 segments, and 2 with 4 segments. If 0 is excluded as a valid input - so the series would refer to "the n-th positive number" - then a(6) would be 111 rather than 77.
EXAMPLE
For n=7, 47 is the 7th positive number to light 7 segments, after 8, 12, 13, 15, 21, and 31.
