I'm not sure these sequences are finite; their definitions are valid  
for any n > 0.
Is it our convention that a sequence is "fini" if it has only  
finitely many nonzero terms?  It would be strange to apply that  
convention to
A000004 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0,  
0, 0, 0 ...  or
A000007 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0,  
0, 0, 0 ...
