COMMENTS
Proposition: when m > 4 and m <> 3k, there is always at least one m-digit number that is divisible by 7 (proof in Derek Holton in reference), these composites are in this sequence (see A346274).
Every term has m = 5+6r, resp. (7+6r, 8+6r, 10+6r (r>=0)) digits and comes from the concatenation of a(1) = 11711, resp. (7, a(4) = 11171111, a(5) = 1111711111) with one or more strings of R_6 = 111111 = 7*15873 placed before and/or after a(1), resp. (7, a(4), a(5)).
The corresponding smallest term b(m) with m = 5+6r, resp. (7+6r, 8+6r, 10+6r (r>=0)) digits is b(m) = R_m + 6*10^k with k = 2, resp. (0, 4, 5) with R_m = A002275(m) is the repunit with a string of m 1's.
Alternatively, numbers viewed as strings over {1, 7} divisible by 7 are accepted by an automaton with 12 states, {0..6, 0'..6'} - {3, 3'}, with k (resp. k') representing remainder mod 7 where 7 has not (resp. has) been seen; transition function delta(k, 1) = 10*k+1 mod 7, delta(k, 7) = (10*k+7 mod 7)', delta(k', 1) = 10*k'+1 mod 7; start state 0; and accept state 0'. Accepted strings satisfy the regular expression (111111)*(7 + 11711 + 11171111 + 1111711111 + 111117111)(111111)*. This sequence includes all terms matching (111111)*(7 + 11711 + 11171111 + 1111711111)(111111)* except the number 7 alone. - Michael S. Branicky, Jul 22 2021

EXAMPLE
a(1) = 11711 because 11711 has 5 digits, a digital product = 7 and 11711 = 7^2 * 239.
