A217112 Greatest number (in decimal representation) with n nonprime substrings in binary representation (substrings with leading zeros are considered to be nonprime).

Examples
(1) = 1, since 1 = 1_2 (binary) is the greatest number with 1 nonprime substring. a(2) = 3 = 11_2 has 3 substrings in binary representation (1, 1 and 11), two of them are nonprime substrings (1 and 1), and 11_2 = 3 is the only prime substrings. 3 is the greatest number with 2 nonprime substrings. a(8) = 29 = 11101_2 has 15 substrings in binary representation (0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 11, 11, 10, 01, 111, 110, 101, 1110, 1101, 11101), exactly 8 of them are nonprime substrings (0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 01, 110, 1110). There is no greater number with 8 nonprime substrings in binary representation. a(14) = 54 = 110110_2 has 21 substrings in binary representation, only 7 of them are prime substrings (10, 10, 11, 11, 101, 1011, 1101), which implies that exactly 14 substrings must be nonprime. There is no greater number with 14 nonprime substrings in binary representation.

Formula
a(n) >= A217102(n).
a(n) <= 2^n.
a(n) <= 2^min(6 + n/6, 20*floor((n+125)/126)).
a(n) <= 64*2^(n/6).
With m := floor(log_2(a(n))) + 1:
a(n+m+1) >= 2*a(n), if a(n) is even.
a(n+m) >= 2*a(n), if a(n) is odd.
