The only number in the range [0, 2^(n-2) - 1] for n = 2 is 0, so a(2) = 0. 5^a(2) + 3 = 4 which is not divisible by 8, so a(3) = a(2) + 2^0 = 1. 5^a(3) + 3 = 8 which is not divisible by 16, so a(4) = a(3) + 2^1 = 3. 5^a(4) + 3 = 128 which is divisible by 32, 64 and 128 but not 256, so a(5) = a(6) = a(7) = a(4) = 3, a(8) = a(7) + 2^5 = 35. 5^a(8) + 3 = ... which is divisible by 512 but not 1024, so a(9) = a(8) = 35, a(10) = a(9) + 2^7 = 163.
