Pandigital factorization integer cascades

I've just created a new sequence of pandigital factorization integers (PFIs). My interest here is the possibility of finding long cascades of these numbers where the difference between adjacent terms is also pandigital. Here's an example:

0.                  2*3*107*45869
1.   + 1045968723 = 3*6047*59281
2.   + 1369754820 = 3*97*8402651
3.   + 1064358927 = 2^8*3*4569701
4.   + 1802467395 = 3*47^2*801569
5.   + 4987621053 = 2^9*3*6705481
6.   + 2480359671 = 3*71^2*845069
7.   + 3154087296 = 3*89^2*670541
8.   + 9241038675 = 2*3*7^5*41*6089

The numbers in the right-most column are the PFIs and the eight additions show the pandigital differences between adjacent terms. In this particular instance the differences are the only way to bridge 2*3*107*45869 to 2*3*7^5*41*6089 but many such cascades have alternate routes to get from the smallest to the largest term.

I only started searching this morning but I already have a 48-term cascade starting with 3^2*5*7*108649 and ending with 3^8*19^2*65407 that only has one minor path variant:

 0.                  3^2*5*7*108649
 1.   + 1235068974 = 3^4*15670289
 2.   + 1047635289 = 2*3^5*7*681049
 3.   + 1380467529 = 3^4*7*6520981
 4.   + 1067428935 = 2*3^5*9804167
 5.   + 1365278409 = 3^4*75680291
 6.   + 1063974852 = 3^5*7^2*604189
 7.   + 1375960284 = 3^6*419*28057

34.   + 5704196823 = 3^7*40682951
35.   + 6095824371 = 2^8*3^6*509417
36.   + 7459630281 = 3^8*15627049
37.   + 6319542078 = 3^8*16590247
38.   + 1907234586 = 3^7*50642819
39.   + 3275841690 = 3^7*52140689

47.   + 1569023784 = 3^8*19^2*65407

The variant:

44.   + 4016985372 = 3^8*21576409
45.   + 2740691538 = 3^7*65982401
