a(8) = 3789 * 10^973 - 1 (3788 followed by 973 9's).
a(9) = 78889 * 10^((a(8) - 305)/81) - 1 (78888 followed by (421 * 10^973 - 34)/9 9's, specified by Warut Roonguthai for UPINT3).
a(10) = 259 * 10^((a(9) - 93)/81) - 1.
a(11) = 179 * 10^((a(10) - 114)/81) - 1.
a(12) = 47 * 10^((a(11) - 52)/81) - 1.
