COMMENTS
The sequence is well defined since for each n >= 0 there is a number with n nonprime substrings.
Different from A213303, first difference is at a(16).

FORMULA
a(m(m+1)/2) = (13*10^(m-1)-4)/9, m>0.
With b(n):=floor((sqrt(8*n-7)-1)/2):
a(n) > 10^b(n), for n>2, a(n) = 10^b(n) for n=1,2.
a(n) >= 10^b(n)+4*10^(n-1-b(n)(b(n)+1)/2)-1)/9, equality holds if n or n+1 is a triangular number > 0 (cf. A000217).
a(n) >= A213303(n).
a(n) <= A213307(n).
EXAMPLE
a(0)=2, since 2 is the least number with zero nonprime substrings.
a(1)=1, since 1 has 1 nonprime substrings.
a(2)=10, since 10 is the least number with 2 nonprime substrings, these are 1 and 10 ('0' will not be counted).
a(3)=14, since 14 is the least number with 3 nonprime substrings, these are 1 and 4 and 14. 10, 11 and 12 only have 2 such substrings.
