Hello SeqFans,
if we do not use the greedy algorithm
but look for the _longest_ sequence,
the problem is still open!
Jean-Marc Falcoz just computed this
62-term chain, telling me that this might
be beaten. 
Jean-Marc's try starts with 22,3132,...
(instead of my 22,42,62,82,...)

> 22,3132,4162,7172,101102,112151,142181,182201,212231,241262,261302,311312,341342,352391,372431,422441,452471,472511,502541,512591,532631,552671,582701,592751,612791,662801,702821,742841,782861,812891,832931,852971,1001892,1051912,1101932,1141962,1191982,10221231,10621271,10921321,11121381,11421431,11721481,12021531,12321581,12721621,13021671,13221731,13421791,13721841,14121881,14421931,14721981,15122021,15522061,15822111,16222151,16622191,17022231,17422271,17722321,18122361}

The last term is impressive, isn't it?
Merci Jean-Marc -- and bravo! 
Best,
É.
