A000129(n) - 2 is a term for n > 1. The maximal Pell representations of these numbers are 0, 11, 121, 1221, 12221, ... (0 and A132583).
A048739 is a subsequence since these are the repunit numbers in the maximal Pell representation.
A065113 is a subsequence since the maximal Pell representation of A065113(n) is 2*n 2's.
