%N a(n) is the number whose decimal expansion consists of the concatenation of the largest 1-digit prime = 7, the largest 2-digit prime = 97, ... up to the largest n-digit prime = A003618(n).
%C a(n) has n*(n+1)/2 digits.
%C a(1) = 7 and a(2) = 797, these are only 2 known indices for which a(n) = A338968(n).
%C The decimal expansion of the limit when n -> oo of a(n) is A340220.
%e The greatest primes with 1, 2 and 3 digits are respectively 7, 97 and 997, hence, a(3) = 7||97||997 = 797997 where || stands for concatenation.
