Law of Small Numbers, again

Back on 27 March I submitted the first of 89 sequences: a(n) is the
largest number such that all of a(n)'s length-n substrings are distinct
and divisible by x, for x = 11 to 99, based on an observation of Erich
Friedman for x=19, n=3, as publicized by Ed Pegg's 22 March online
MathPuzzle article. I highlighted the case of x=63 in a post (titled
"Sevens") to this list.
Subsequent to my submissions, I asked Neil to delete the sequences for
x=45 and x=90 as they appeared to be identical to x=30, A093230: 0,
900, 99000, 9990000, 999900000, 99999000000, 9999990000000,
999999900000000, ...
I'm currently in the process of upgrading these sequences from seven or
eight to ten terms each and have discovered that in the case of x=45
the sequence is not in fact identical to x=30.
a(n) is the largest number such that all of a(n)'s length-n substrings
are distinct and divisible by 30:
0, 900, 99000, 9990000, 999900000, 99999000000, 9999990000000,
999999900000000, 99999999000000000, 9999999990000000000, ...
a(n) is the largest number such that all of a(n)'s length-n substrings
are distinct and divisible by 45:
0, 900, 99000, 9990000, 999900000, 99999000000, 9999990000000,
999999900000000, 99999999000000000, 5555555595555555550555555555, ...
