Conjecture: a(n) is a Fibonacci number (A000045) for every n.
In fact, a(n) is in {1,2,3,5}; proved with the Walnut theorem-prover. - Jeffrey Shallit, Oct 12 2022
Comment from Jonathan F. P. Grube and Benjamin Mason, Oct 10 2024: (Start)
With an offset of 41, the sequence is of the form 2[c_{1,1},...,c_{1,n_1}]2[c_{2,1},...,c_{2,n_2}]2[c_{3,1},...,c_{3,n_3}]2..., where [c_{i,1},...,c_{1,n_i}] is the word 35(355)^{c_{i,1}}35(355)^{c_{i,2}}35...35(355)^{c_{i,n_i}}353 over the alphabet {3,5} for some nonnegative integers c_{i,j}. Furthermore c_{i,j} is in {1,2}. Proved with Walnut, the theorem-prover.
Conjectures: n_{2k-1} = n_{2k} and c_{2k-1, j} = c_{2k, j} for all positive k and 0<j<n_{2k}+1. Furthermore c_{i,j} = c_{i,n_i - j} for all positive i and 0<j<n_i + 1. Furthermore (n_{2k})_{k > 0} is the Fibonnaci sequence. (End)

The Walnut code at https://cs.uwaterloo.ca/~shallit/oeis-walnut.txt proves the conjecture. Walnut itself can be downloaded from https://cs.uwaterloo.ca/~shallit/walnut.html.
