A217309 Minimal natural number (in decimal representation) with n prime substrings in base-9 representation (substrings with leading zeros are considered to be nonprime).

Examples
a(1) = 2 = 2_9, since 2 is the least number with 1 prime substring in base-9 representation. a(2) = 11 = 12_9, since 11 is the least number with 2 prime substrings in base-9 representation (2_9 and 12_9). a(3) = 23 = 25_9, since 23 is the least number with 3 prime substrings in base-9 representation (2_9, 3_9, and 23_9). a(4) = 101 = 122_9, since 101 is the least number with 4 prime substrings in base-9 representation (2 times 2_9, 12_9=11, and 122_9=101). a(7) = 1562 = 2125_9, since 1562 is the least number with 7 prime substrings in base-9 representation (2 times 2_9, 5_9, 12_9=11, 21_9=19, 25_9=23, and 212_9=173).

Formula
a(n) > 9^floor(sqrt(8*n-7)-1)/2), for n>0.
a(n) <= (9^n - 1)/4, n>0.
a(n+1) <= 9*a(n)+3.
