Cool!

Though I say the rule about repeated numbers is a bummer. I can see things might get easier (also it might be a more procedurally easy problem to solve) if this is allowed

Basically I don't think it's a "productive" complication

Without that rule, you could decompose everything into 1's, and then recompose from there. Not the most efficient solution, but a boring one that always exists.

Ok so how about allowing only non contiguous repeated numbers
