how to refactor nested for loop into smaller for loop assume each of them

because memory is not enough

Since you're using Python 2, you could try xrange instead of range.
But it won't make a lot of difference. You're trying to call your run
function 8,000,000,000 times... that is a *lot* of function calls.
Consider a faster algorithm instead!
Printing even one character 8 billion times is likely to take quite a
few hours too.
The OP's code however is a good demonstration of how crazy Python's
original for-range loop was: you need to construct a list of N elements
just to be able to count to N. How many years was it until xrange was
introduced?
