FORMULA
a(n) = A007088(A371033(n)). - Michel Marcus, Jul 09 2024
a(n) = (10^(n*(n+1)/2) - 1)/9 - a(n-1). - Robert Israel, Jul 09 2024
EXAMPLE
a(1) = 1 has runlength 1; a(2) = 110 has runlengths 2,1; a(3) = 111001 has runlengths 3,2,1.
MAPLE
f:= proc(n) option remember; (10^(n*(n+1)/2)-1)/9 - procname(n-1) end proc:
