The actual contribution from 11-digit primes turned out to be 3.78852571*10^-12. Emboldened by the proximity of this to my guess, I derived extrapolated contributions from 12- to 17-digit primes and added them to my sum for up to and including 1/(largest-11-digit-prime*smallest-12-digit-prime). This conservatively yields yet another three terms of the sequence for a total now of 15 digits.
