The 4-limiting word is the limit of the n-th iterates for n == 4 mod 5.
The number of letters (0's and 1's) in the n-th iterate is given by A288243(n), for n >= 0.

EXAMPLE
The first two n-th iterates for n == 3 mod 5:
01011110111000
010111101110001011111111011111110111111011111011110111000
(The lengths of the first 10 such iterates are 10, 45, 127, 279, 534, 947, 1594, 2573, 4018, 6126.)
