The next term for the first sequence is
9036922116709843444667289331349853231276337589593114741410804131
which I think is small enough to include.  The following terms,
12355366845323469407695932924035505500374277313036075181159979150727844474041868783907397559846490718062396654680768495555665511
and
29956212424447858025062690134791986796991384045188530821987961908306122190496805082484077678003192733750395459460647283196024172587182560740784030074216816205081616404126696536544024089426239958196186959434795214693673792511849311888613909587659101203097
are too large.
