You had to pick a particularly difficult letter-combination. The first  
time that I-T (90) even shows up is in row #56 (...7909...). The good  
news is that the digits 11514, a minimum requirement for K-E-N, occurs  
542 times in that row. Row #56 has over four-million digits in it and  
the length of each subsequent row appears to be about 1.286 times the  
length of its predecessor, so it is unlikely that anyone will venture  
into that realm.
