OK, never mind.

I wrote a program which found the reported value then terminated. This 
should have indicated that for some n, if the last n digits of n are all 
prime, the last n digits of n^2 cannot all be prime.

However, I must have had an error in my program. I rewrote the program, 
and now I can easily see that any n ending in 3^k 5 has n^2 ending in 
2^k 5, so it is impossible to bound the length of n based on suffixes. 
So my apologies there.

I rewrote the program, and for length n >= 1, I get the following 
numbers of numbers k such that k has n prime digits and n^2 ends in n 
prime digits:

I can tell you this:

There are no more solutions <= 26 digits.

Under reasonable assumptions about the distributions of digits, the 
probability that there are any larger solutions is finite and very small.
