The first and last digits can be (either way round): 1 and 4; 2 and 5; 2 and 8; 2 and 9; and there can be 0 or more 0s in the middle? I'm suspecting there must be more to it than that...!

Not a lot more to it than that. A constraint is that these are numbers with only two non-zero digits - so 410, 4,100 and 41,000 are also in this set. Discounting multiples of ten, the next numbers in the sequence would be 4,000,001 and 8,000,002.

I've been mulling this one over for days now. I give up!
