Concatenated anti-divisors

Non-divisor: a number k which does not divide a given
number x. Anti-divisor: a non-divisor k of x with the
property that k is an odd divisor of 2x-1 or 2x+1, or
an even divisor of 2x.
There are no anti-divisors of 1 and 2.
See A066272 for an equivalent definition and also the
number of terms in each row.
Now, if we concatenate antidivisors of integers n>2, we have an
anti-divisor analogue of A106708.
This should be easy for someone to Mathematica-ize and extend, and
leads to the same kind of fun questions as its origin does.

%N A000001 Replace n by the concatenation of its
antidivisors.
%C A000001 Number of antidivisors concatened to form
a(n) is A066272(n). We may consider prime values of
the concatenated antidivisor sequence, and we may
iterate it, i.e. n, a(n), a(a(n)), a(a(a(n))) which
leads to questions of trajectory, cycles, fixed
points.
%e A000001 Anti-divisors of 3 through 20:
3: 2, so a(3) = 2.
4: 3, so a(4) = 3.
5: 2, 3, so a(5) = 23.
6: 4, so a(6) = 4.
7: 2, 3, 5, so a(7) = 235.
17: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, so a(17) = 235711
%Y A000001 Cf. A037278, A066272, A120712, A106708,
