The segment breaks are arbitrary, but each real is composed of only
finite length segments.

R1= < <314><15><926><535><8979><323> ... >
R2= < <27><18281828><459045><23536> ... >
R3= < <333><333><333><333><333><333> ...>
R4= < <888888888888888888><8><8><88>...>
R5= < <0123456789><0123456789><0123456789> ...>
R6= < <1><414><21356><2373095><0488> ...>
....

Can you (always in general) find a missing digit segment?
