a(20) = 1+1+0 = 2 because 20 is written as 110 base 4.

This can be written as a triangle (cf. A000120):
0,
1,2,3,
1,2,3,4,2,3,4,5,3,4,5,6,
1,2,3,4,2,3,4,5,3,4,5,6,4,5,6,7,2,3,4,5,3,4,5,6,4,5,6,7,5,6,7,8,3,4,5,6,4,5,6,7,5,6,7,8,6,7,8,9,
1,2,3,4,2,3,4,5,3,4,5,6,4,5,6,7,2,3,4,5,3,4,5,6,4,5,6,7,5,6,7,8,3,4,5,6,4,...
where the rows converge to A173524.
