A few results are now visible there (thanks to 
Hans Havermann and Maximilian Hasler):

Playing with the same idea, bud adding instead of
multiplying -- and starting with a(1)=0 and a(2)=1,
one would get:
                                                               ___
S = 0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13,9,4,12,13,5,3,3,4,8,8,6,7,12,16,14,13,8,3,3,7,7,5,5,4,11,11,6,10,...
(the last computed term so far ("10") is the sum of
the 3 and 7 being "overlined". Should this sequence
enter the OEIS?

Every integer has its own such "signature":
2012,2,1,3,4,3,4,7,7,14,8,...
... We might look for integers which "appear in 
their own signature" (meaning that we accept to 
concatenate a few neighboring digits). 1818 does
the job, for instance:
              _____
1818,9,9,9,17,18,18,10

... but 2012 will never show.             
Best,
É.
