%N a(n) is the length of the longest sequence of distinct numbers in arithmetic progression in the interval 0..n, ending with n and where the Thue-Morse sequence (A010060) is constant.
%C In other words, a(n) is the greatest k > 0 such that A010060(n) = A010060(n - i*d) for i = 0..k-1 and some d > 0 (see A350285 for the least such d).
%C This sequence is unbounded (this is a consequence of Van der Waerden's theorem).

%e For n = 12:
%e - the first 13 terms of A010060 are:
%e 0, 1, 1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0
%e ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
%e - A010060(0) = A010060(3) = A010060(6) = A010060(9) = A010060(12),
%e - and there is no longer sequence of distinct numbers <= 12 in arithmetic progression ending in 12 with this property,
%e - so a(12) = 5.
