A (more or less) brute force approach suffices for the first 3 parts of this task but a much quicker method is needed for the other two parts.
 
Based on some prior analysis I did, the first three powers of two to begin with "123" are: 2^90, 2^379 and 2^575. Notice that the respective difference in powers is 90, 289 and 196.
 
For higher powers, after a 196 difference, I found that the next difference in powers was either 289 or 485 (= 289 + 196), that 289 was always followed by a difference of 196 and that 485 was followed by either 196 or 485 again.
 
However, the numbers are so large here that (even using GMP) p(123, 12345) is still taking about 4.5 minutes to compute on my Core i7 and, judging by the REXX solution, p(123, 678910) would take well in excess of 4 hours.
 
:::: <small> The REXX solution (on a 3.2GHz processor) took 275 seconds. &nbsp; 2<sup>193,060,223</sup> has over 158 million digits. &nbsp; &nbsp; -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 19:16, 15 January 2020 (UTC) (this msg to be removed later?)</small>
 
I have therefore just completed the first 4 parts for now.
