> Step n owns 2^(n-1) initial segments.

Bruno, why are we discussing this? Sure, in finite time you can compute
all initial segments of size n.  In countable time you can compute one
real, or a countable number of reals.  But each of your steps needs more
than twice the time required by the previous step.  Therefore you need 
more than countable time to compute all reals.

Sure. The output of the program "While TRUE print 1" won't
be computed in countable time by your procedure.
