Answer
1301311.
Removing spaces from the original sequence gives:
1 23 124 1251 26127 128129
123124125126127128129
Now adding spaces back in, in the correct place:
123 124 125 126 127 128 129
So the next few terms should be 130 131 132, so add these to the end:
123 124 125 126 127 128 129 130 131 132
Now remove the spaces again:
123124125126127128129130131132
No break the sequence into chunks of increasing size - as per the original question:
1 23 124 1251 26127 128129 1301311
So the missing term is 1301311.
