That last number is, in fact:

Forty-three dodecillion, five hundred fifty-six undecillion, one hundred forty-two decillion, nine hundred sixty-five nonillion, eight hundred eighty octillion, one hundred twenty-three septillion, three hundred twenty-three sextillion, three hundred eleven quintillion, nine hundred forty-nine quadrillion, seven hundred fifty-one trillion, two hundred sixty-six billion, three hundred thirty-one million, sixty-six thousand, three hundred sixty-eight.

So forty-four digits.  And we're done.

Starting where Marswipp left off:

Let S be the sequence whose terms are of the form 2^n where 137 <  n ? ?.
