The first 3 integers then skip 1.  123  skip 4
The next 3 integers then skip 2.   567  skip 89
The next 3 integers then skip 3.   101112  skip 131415  
The next 3 integers then skip 4.   161718  skip 19202122
... etc.

String them all together and put the digits into groups of five.

The first line below shows the first 50 digits... the original 35 and the next 15 asked for.
